Behind the Beauty

Behind the beauty of a star-filled sky

All you can see is the darkest night

Behind the beauty of the greenest grass

You can be sure that a storm has passed

Behind the beauty of a precious smile

There are the eyes that must have cried

Behind the beauty of a tender heart

Once in its life it's been torn apart.

Behind the beauty of a yielded will

There's been a battle only God could still

Behind the beauty of a peaceful soul

There's been a struggle to let God have control

Behind the beauty of a meaningful life

There's been a story full of pain and strife

Remind me dear Lord, that behind the beauty

There are the trials that draw me to thee

There have to be storms and there has to be pain

For this heart of flesh thy beauty to gain
