Glory so beautiful
The earth displays your majesty
How could you ever be
So mindful of someone as me
You captivate
Splendor I have never seen
Nothing else can compare
You're infinite
You're everywhere
You're everything I can't explain
You set my heart on fire
And here I stand amazed
You take my breath away
You take my breath away
See me, all I am
These empty hands
Are all I can give
That You would die so I'd live
Your sacrifice I can't believe
You fascinate
You stole my heart
I can't forget
And now that I've felt your love
No turning back, I can't get enough
The morning breaks, my soul awakes
You are my one desire
And here I stand amazed
You take my breath away
You take my breath away
With just one word
With just one glance
I'm lost in this divine romance
And every single day
More than I can say
You take my breath away
Oh, oh, oh
You take my breath away
Oh, oh, oh
You take my breath away
You take my breath away

Behind the Song:
"When I wrote that little string part, that was a hook in itself, and so I really fell in love with that hook and then sort of stumbled on the chorus idea: 'You take my breath away'-boom, boom, there's the hook. What's cool to me about the song, which happens a lot with at least half the record, is you've got not only the hook vocally but there's a musical hook going on at the same time." - Michael W. Smith
