We flew over Alaska;
We saw the frozen mountains pierce the clouds
It was beautiful
We felt the waves of New Zealand;
The water shimmered beneath a moonlight shroud
It was beautiful

Close to home in an ordinary room
We felt You there
It's my favorite memory
You're so beautiful

The spring in Appalachia
With flowers swaying above the fields of green
It was beautiful
Driving in New England
The road littered with bright October leaves
It was beautiful

Close to home in an ordinary room
We felt You there
It's my favorite memory
You're so beautiful to me
Thanks for the songs
These seven friends and eight good years
It is You that made them sweet
It was beautiful
Pictures looking back
Just snapshots of the past cannot compare
To feeling what we felt
Through anything that came
That You were there

A thousand smiling faces
Backlit and bouncing to the beat
It was beautiful
As many soaring voices
Forever changed by Your mercy
It was beautiful

Far away from all the lights and noise
We felt You there
It's my favorite memory
You're so beautiful to me
Thanks for the songs
These seven friends
And eight good years
It is You that made them sweet
You're so beautiful to me
