Lyrics

He been so, He been so good, good (He's been so—, Our God has been)
He's been so, so good (He's been so good)
He been so good, He been so good, He been so good to me (He's been so good)
He been so good (Our God has been, He's been so good)
Woah

You are so beautiful
Everything You do is so unusual (Our God has been—)
You snatched me straight out that funeral, oh, oh
I can't wait to see Your eyes one day, I been thinkin' 'bout it
And it's a blessin' just to think that I can think about it (Our God has been)
I know some people been searchin' and so they drink about it
But for the cup I drink from will never run dry
This what life on (He's been so—)
Asked for a life and He said "Son, this is lifelong" (Our God has been)
Holy Spirit-driven, had to learn to keep the brights on
Puttin' God in a box like seein' Shaq with some tights on (He's been so good)
Boy, I been loosened by the grip of the python
I shed skin, new hems, I got Christ on

Here in Your holiness (Our God has been)
Lord, I want nothing less
So I let my heart confess (He's been so—)
You are so beautiful
Before Your majesty
You showed me love when all I felt was tragedy
And that's why I'm glad to sing (He's been so—)

As I'm sittin' on this plane could be my last breath (He's been so—)
But I ain't scared of death 'cause I got my God in me (Our God has been)
And if I die today I know he did His job with me (He's been so good)
And I still lift up Your Name 'cause

You are so beautiful
Here in Your holiness
Lord, I want nothing less
So I let my heart confess (He's been so—)
You are so beautiful
Before Your majesty
You showed me love when all I felt was tragedy
And that's why I'm glad to sing (He's been so—)
Here in Your holiness
Lord, I want nothing less
So I let my heart confess
You are so beautiful
Before Your majesty
You showed me love when all I felt was tragedy
And that's why I'm glad to sing

He's been so—, Our God has been, He's been so good

Meaning & Inspiration

Hulvey's "Beautiful," released on July 22, 2022, is a profound expression of worship that centers on the overwhelming goodness and beauty of God, particularly as experienced through His transformative love. The song moves beyond a simple recounting of blessings to an intimate confession of faith, rooted in the deep wellspring of God's unchanging character. The narrative is one of redemption, a stark contrast between the tragedy of a life without Him and the unparalleled beauty found in His holiness and majesty. Hulvey artfully portrays this shift, illustrating how God's intervention pulls individuals out of despair, much like snatching someone from a funeral, offering a new life that is truly "lifelong," as he emphasizes. This concept echoes the promise of eternal life found in John 3:16, where believing in God’s Son offers salvation and a future beyond earthly suffering.

The core message of "Beautiful" is a testament to divine faithfulness, the kind that remains constant even when circumstances are bleak. Hulvey's lyrics convey a powerful sense of peace and assurance, even in the face of mortality, stating, "But I ain't scared of death 'cause I got my God in me." This fearlessness is a direct result of understanding God's diligent work in one's life, a theme resonant with passages like Psalm 138:8, which declares, "The Lord will accomplish what concerns me." The song’s spiritual depth is further illuminated by Hulvey’s acknowledgment of the Holy Spirit’s guidance, describing a life that is "Holy Spirit-driven." This is not a passive faith but an active, intentional walk, learning to "keep the brights on," metaphorically speaking, navigating life's path with divine illumination. The imagery of being "loosened by the grip of the python" and shedding old skin signifies a complete spiritual renewal, a shedding of the old self for a new life in Christ, aligning with the New Testament concept of being "born again" (John 3:3). The recurring declaration of God's goodness and beauty serves as an anchor, grounding the listener in the truth that His attributes are the source of all true beauty and worth, a sentiment beautifully captured in Psalm 27:4, where the psalmist desires to dwell in the house of the Lord to behold His beauty and inquire in His temple. The song’s sincerity and clarity make it a powerful anthem for anyone seeking to understand and express the profound beauty of a life lived in God's presence.
