about
Within a couple of days of releasing "Community Worship, Volume 1", we were contacted by 95.9 The Light (WNPQ-FM) requesting an interview and expressing interest in playing "Beautiful Jesus" on their station.
Since songs on the radio are typically under 4 minutes, we quickly edited down a new version of the song.
"This song was written during a time of revelation I was having about God's goodness. Many of the people around me were struggling with sin that they thought was 'unforgivable'. The truth is that the blood of Jesus covers us and brings us back into a complete relationship with Him. I thank my BEAUTIFUL King for all that He has done.
The basic melody was in my head for this song but most of the musical genius came from my worship team at Malone. One night we all came together and I played the basic tune and they all had ideas of their own that really made this song special." - Esperanza Brown
lyrics
Beautiful Jesus, we wanna thank You
For every and all things won
Addiction and shame, our sickness and pain;
All things overcome
Your cross has given us
All the love You have ever had and ever will
Your cross has given us strength
No longer bound to sin
Freedom reigns and we'll never ever be the same
You've broken every chain
You've broken every chain
"There is now, therefore, no more condemnation
For those who set themselves in Christ."
Jesus, You set us free from sin and pain
We once were powerless
We sing what You promised
Who is higher than the Son of Man, whose glory fills the sky?
Who is faithful like the rising of the sun?
Jesus, You're the only one
I am free
I am free
There's no chain on me
There's no chain on me
