O Beauty so ancient, and yet so new. Too late I have known You Too late I have loved You. I stand here in need of Your mercy Rebuild me a new, fill my soul. Let me seek You my soul thirst for You. You have made me O God, Live forever in Your love And my heart will not rest Until it rests in You You were always near me When I was far astray. You stretched Your hand out to me But I turned away. I reached out for creation not creator The beauty created by Your hand Even in the shadows Your love broke through You have made me O God, To live forever in Your love And my heart will not rest Until it rests in You. You shouted out and broke through my deafness. You burned brightly and chased away my blindness. You breath Your fragrance upon me. And even now do I yearn for You You touched me and I burned for Your peace You have made me O God, To live forever in Your love And my heart will not rest Until it rests in You O Beauty so ancient, and yet so new. Too late I have known you, Too late I have loved You.
