He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,

We will be featuring the song ¨Beautiful One¨ this week during Sunday Celebration.  I had always believed the song was written by Jeremy Camp, but I was wrong; the song was written by Tim Hughes.  Tim notes that the song was inspired by Isaiah 53 and how when Jesus lived on earth his beauty was not recognized and how this shocked him.  He goes on to say the song was written to tell Jesus that we do love you, you are beautiful and we do adore you.


Isaiah 53
 1 Who has believed our message 
   and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? 
2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot, 
   and like a root out of dry ground. 
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, 
   nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. 
3 He was despised and rejected by mankind, 
   a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. 
Like one from whom people hide their faces 
   he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
