Oh Lord, You're Beautiful - sung by Jack Marti

I just recently learned this song has more than just one verse! I never was really much into Keith Green until I saw his story here on You Tube. Recently, some friends of mine introduced me to the second verse of this song, and even more recently I listened to a video of Keith himself doing this song and I found out there was a chorus as well! I love this song, so I thought I'd share my rendition with you.

Oh Lord, You're beautiful
Your face is all I seek.
And when Your eyes are on this child,
Your grace abounds to me.

I want to take Your Word and shine it all around;
First, help me just to live it, Lord.
And when I'm doing well
Help me to never seek a crown;
For my reward is giving glory to Thee.

Oh Lord, please light the fire
that once burned bright and clear
Replace the lamp of my first
love that burns with holy fear

I want to take Your Word and shine it all around;
First, help me just to live it, Lord.
And when I'm doing well
Help me to never seek a crown;
For my reward is giving glory to Thee.

Oh Lord, You're beautiful
Your face is all I seek.
And when Your eyes are on this child
Your grace abounds to me.

Oh Lord, please light the fire
that once burned bright and clear
Replace the lamp of my first
love that burns with holy fear

I want to take Your Word and shine it all around;
First, help me just to live it, Lord.
And when I'm doing well
Help me to never seek a crown;
For my reward is giving glory to Thee.

Oh Lord, You're beautiful
Your face is all I seek.
And when Your eyes are on this child
Your grace abounds to me.

Keith Green was a man on fire for God. His intense personality got him a short life, but he influenced thousands to go all out for Jesus, including me.

It's not like a great classical, mind you, but one of the best folk guitars I've ever played! I've had two others just like it made of all laminates, and I was extremely impressed with the sound of both of them as folk instruments. The others were 70s vintage instruements. I had one other that was a 90s vintage that sounded good, but not as good as the older ones. it was made of pau ferro/morado and a liminated spruce top.

Sides and back are laminated Brazilian rosewood. The top is solid cedar, which is rare in a CraViola of this vintage. Mostly they're all laminate. Yes the bass is deep and rich, especially for a nylon string guitar. There are twelve frets from the nut to the heel, but because of the body shape, the rest of the frets are easily accessable. I wouldn't say the treble are like steel, but the sound over-all on this guitar is definitely robust for a nylon string.
