Chorus
You really are wonderful
You really are beautiful
You are nothing like
I've ever seen before
You really are wonderful
You really are beautiful
You are nothing like
I've ever seen before
You really are wonderful
You really are beautiful
You are nothing like
I've ever seen before
Bridge
And I know that your eyes
Are like tongues of fire
And I know that your hands
Are wide as sky
And I know that your voice
Sounds like waters
Jesus You're beautiful
Spontaneous Worship
Hearts like fire ...

Meaning & Inspiration
You Really Are is a worship song of simple adoration that repeats the words "wonderful" and "beautiful" about Jesus. The opening lines say that there is nothing like Him that the singer has ever seen, and the pattern is sung three times to give space for wonder before the verse moves on.
The verse draws on the vision of Christ in Revelation 1, with eyes like tongues of fire, hands as wide as the sky and a voice that sounds like waters. That passage is found in Revelation 1:14-15, and the beauty of the Lord also recalls Psalm 27:4, where the psalmist longs to gaze on it. The lyrics end with the cue for spontaneous worship, leaving room for a leader and congregation to respond. Because the wording is simple, the song suits a gathering that wants to linger in praise rather than follow a story.
