Why "Something Beautiful"?
February 17, 2025
"He made something beautiful of my life."
In 1971, Gloria Gaither wrote these moving words. Her heartfelt prayer of gratitude has touched millions of hearts and now features in the United Methodist Hymnal as Hymn #394.
Something beautiful, something good;
All my confusion he understood;
all I had to offer him
was brokenness and strife,
but he made something beautiful of my life.
How has God made something beautiful of our lives? What loveliness has God grown here at Aldersgate? During the coming year, our blog--titled "Something Beautiful"--will paint those pictures. God has turned our confusion, brokenness and strife into a blazing light of beauty that shines out into our dark world. Let's stand in awe of God's beautiful work, together.
In the video below, watch the Gaithers bring an entire audience to tears with "Something Beautiful" in a performance from the 1990s.
