Chorus
O, deliver me from the Gorgeous From the vanity that steals the heart away
For the beauty of the Lord is my fortress A light that will not dim or ever fade
Not in the image, but in the Maker
Not in the shadow, but in the Son
I find glory in the Life-giver
And the victory that Christ the Lord has won.

Verse 2
I spend my strength to curate every scene To hide the brokenness that dwells within
And airbrushed lives are never truly clean They cannot wash the deep-dyed stain of sin
The God of Splendor calls my eye to a hill
Where aesthetics bow to mercy’s sovereign plan
To see the grace that’s more enchanting still:
The wounded side of God become a man.

Bridge
He had no form that we should desire Him No majesty to catch the wandering eye
The world’s "gorgeous" could never requiem As on the tree He hung alone to die
Yet in those scars, the highest beauty dwells
In every stripe, a loveliness untold
A deeper story than the surface tells
A glory that the heavens now behold!

Verse 3
So let the charms of earth begin to wane And let the idols of the lens depart
For there is joy that triumphs over pain When holiness is written on the heart
We fix our gaze on what the eye can’t see
Beyond the veil where Christ is on the throne
Transformed by grace into His purity
To live for His magnificent praise alone.

Chorus
O, deliver us from the "Gorgeous" From the vanity that steals the heart away
For the beauty of the Lord is our fortress A light that will not dim or ever fade
Not in the image, but in the Maker
Not in the shadow, but in the Son
We find our glory in the Life-Taker
And the victory that Christ the Lord has won.

Outro
Let the world fade, let the glory remain
In the face of Jesus, our eternal gain.
Beautiful Savior, King of all grace,
We find our life in the light of Your face.
(Amen.)

I chase the glow that dazzles human eyes And seek my worth within a changing face The world has preached a gospel made of gold Of perfect lines and skin without a flaw But in the soul, a winter, dark and cold Beneath the weight of fashion’s heavy law.
