Beautiful God
Laying Your majesty aside
You reached out in love to show me life
Lifted from darkness into light
Oh
King for a slave
Trading Your righteousness for shame
Despite all my pride and foolish ways
Caught in Your infinite embrace
Oh
And I find myself here on my knees again
Caught up in grace like an avalanche
Nothing compares to this love love love
Burning in my heart
Saviour and Friend
Breathing Your life into my heart
Your word is the lamp unto my path
Forever I'm humbled by Your love
Oh
Take my life
Take all that I am
With all that I am I will love You
Take my heart
Take all that I have
Jesus how I adore You
And I find myself here on my knees again
Caught up in grace like an avalanche
Nothing compare to this love love love

Hillsong United's 'Like an Avalanche' is a worship song expressing awe at God's grace and love. The lyrics describe God setting aside majesty to reach humanity in love, lifting them from darkness. The singer responds by kneeling in humility, overwhelmed by grace described as an avalanche. The song also speaks of God as a Savior and Friend, whose word guides life. It culminates in a surrender of life, heart, and all that one is to love and adore Jesus. The theme centers on the overwhelming, transformative power of God's grace and love.
