Bob Carlisle – You're Beautiful lyrics

Down a cold and darkened hallway, A doctor stood alone
With a young and frightened father Who knew something was wrong.
He said, "Son this isn't easy But we really need to talk."
So he put his arm around him And they began to walk.

He said, "You're wife is finally sleeping, She just needs to be alone right now
And you're baby, well, she's healthy, But there's something you should know;
Son, she's slightly less than perfect. There was nothing we could do,
So, before you go to see her, I thought I'd talk to you. "

As the young man held the warm and sleeping bundle to his chest,
He saw the imperfections And although he tried his best,
He couldn't stop the tears from falling As he held his little girl
And in a low and trembling voice He gently said these words.

"You're beautiful In every way.
So beautiful, how I've waited for this day.
If the world was offered to me,
I just couldn't make the trade,
Cause you're beautiful. "

When I think of how I've fallen And oft times I've tried
To hide my imperfections From my Father's eyes.
There a voice that still is calling Deep inside of me
And I can always hear it When I get on my knees.

"You're beautiful In every way.
So beautiful, how I've waited for this day.
When the world was offered to me,
I just couldn't make the trade,
Cause you're beautiful. "

You'd be amazed how some things matter and some things don't
When you're seen through the eyes of God.
Though we try to hide our darkness and veil our tears
He only sees what's in your heart

"You're beautiful In every way.
So beautiful, how I've waited for this day.
When the world was offered to me,
I just couldn't make the trade,
Cause you're beautiful. "

I know, God knows, "You're beautiful!"
