Love the lyrics of this song.
Love even more the One whom this song is written to.
Captivated by Vicky Beeching
Your laughter it echoes like a joyous thunder
Your whisper it warms me like a summer breeze
Your anger is fiercer than the sun in its splendour
You’re close and yet full of mystery
Ever since the day that I saw Your face
Try as I may, I cannot look away, I cannot look away…
Captivated by You
I am captivated by You
May my life be one unbroken gaze
Fixed upon the beauty of Your face
Beholding is becoming, so as You fill my gaze
I become more like You and my heart is changed
Beholding is becoming, so as You fill my view
Transform me into the likeness of You
This is what I ask, for all my days
That I may, never look away, never look away…
No other could ever be as beautiful
No other could ever steal my heart away
I just can’t look away…
I wonder how You sound like when You laugh. The time I came close to hearing that was in the LRT. You surprised me when you suddenly spoke. The delight and joy ringing loudly in the tone of Your Voice. I can’t help but be infected by Your joy. *Smile*
The other day whilst in my semi consciousness, I felt Your hands on my chest, gently comforting me. *Smile* That was wow; astonished that You would care enough to reach out from the invisible to the visible realm.
I forgot. Just like Peter, I took my eyes off You. The moment I did, the waves and the wind broke my strength and I find myself sinking once more. You reached out, took my hand and brought me back into the safety of the boat. Trembling, I expected reproach. Instead You embraced me and whispered Your peace into my heart. I’m sorry I forgot.
Hearing that You love me still bring tears to my eyes.
I miss You.

I recall reading somewhere where the Bible says, that the very thing we behold, we become more and more alike… in this song, it is so true when she sings,
Beholding is becoming, so as You fill my gaze
I become more like You and my heart is changed
Beholding is becoming, so as You fill my view
Transform me into the likeness of You
Let us all fix our eyes on Jesus and continue to be enthralled by His beauty and glory. In order that we become more and more like the Focus of our love.
“And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.” ~ 2 Cor 3:18 (ESV)
