Don Francisco - Beautiful To Me lyrics

Crowds were in the streets that day When Jesus came to town All the synagogue was there And more from miles around So I asked Him home to dinner So I could see what I could see Of this famous local Prophet From here in Galilee And I don't know just how that woman Got into the room But you couldn't miss her gaudy clothes And her strong and sweet perfume She went straight to Jesus' feet And stopped and stood right there And then cried and wet His feet with tears And dried them with her hair Now of all the women in my town None was more well known For the flagrant scent she'd left them And the wickedness she'd sown But He didn't move to stop her It seemed this Prophet couldn't tell That the woman who was touching Him Was the kind they buy and sell And I had no idea just what this Jesus planned to do When He said Simon, there's somethin' I need to say to you So I said, Teacher, if it's on Your mind then tell me what you will But as He began to speak to me, the room grew quickly still He said, take a good look at this woman now In spite of all her fears, She's kissed me, and anointed me And washed my feet with tears She's honored me And you've been only rude to me instead You gave no kiss of greeting And no anointing for my head And her sins were red as scarlet But now they're washed away The love and faith she'd shown Is the price she has to pay For the depth of God's forgiveness It's more than you can see And in spite of what you think of her She's beautiful to me Well my anger flamed to hatred I wanted nothing more Than to take this Prophet by the throat And throw Him out the door To act like God, forgiving sins And then speak so to me As itinerant from Nazareth And backwards Galilee But instead I sat and trembled Shaken to the core, The woman still was weeping As she knelt there on the floor Jesus turned to her Said your chains have been released Your faith has saved you from your sins Rise and walk in peace Your sins were red as scarlet But now they're washed away The love and faith you've shown Is all the price you have to pay For the depth of God's forgiveness It's deeper than the sea And no matter what the world may think You're beautiful to me Your sins were red as scarlet But now they're washed away The love and faith you've shown Is all the price you have to pay For the depth of God's forgiveness It's deeper than the sea And no matter what the world may think You're beautiful to me Your sins were red as scarlet But now they're washed away The love and faith you've shown Is all the price you have to pay For the depth of God's forgiveness It's deeper than the sea And no matter what the world may think You're beautiful to me
