Captivated by You

Over the past year I have become a huge fan of Vicky Beeching. She has such a gift in writing and leading worship. As I was working in my office today I was listening to her and the song Captivated by You played. It was everything I have been praying, praising and worshiping to my Lord...I am so captivated by Him. I love how music can speak to your heart. As Pastor Steve preached on Sunday, music is not worship alone but I truly beleive that lyrics of a song can take you to the foot of the cross. It can stir in you worship to our King. These lyrics have been my praise of worship all day so I thought I would share them with you. (If you unmute your computer you can hear Vicky singing.)


Your laughter it echoes like a joyous thunder
Your whisper it warms me like a summer breeze
Your anger is fiercer than the sun in its splendour
You’re close and yet full of mystery
Ever since the day that I saw Your face
Try as I may, I cannot look away, I cannot look away…

Captivated by You
I am captivated by You
May my life be one unbroken gaze
Fixed upon the beauty of Your face

Beholding is becoming, so as You fill my gaze
I become more like You and my heart is changed
Beholding is becoming, so as You fill my view
Transform me into the likeness of You

This is what I ask, for all my days
That I may, never look away, never look away…
No other could ever be as beautiful
No other could ever steal my heart away
I just can’t look away…
