Music and lyrics by Matthew David Fritz

Eb          Fm   Gm    Ab     Bb
     Ask of Me       And I will give
Eb      Fm   Gm               Ab   Bb
     the nations   as Your inheritance
Eb            Fm   Gm            Ab      Bb
   And the limits, the limits of the earth 
Eb      Fm   Gm  Ab   Bb
    as Your possession.

When I see …  the works of Your fingers
The moon and stars, which You’ve ordained,
What is mortal man, that You remember him,
Through Your visitation?

Ddim               Bb                    Eb
They bartered for some other god
Ddim              Bb  
Their portion only sorrows; 
Cm   G    Ab         Bb Bb7
You maintain my lot

Eb                    Bb              Fm          Ab            Ddim
The measuring lines have fallen on pleasant places
Eb            Bb              Fm            Ab         Ddim
Earth's confines, my portion, my cup, His graces
Eb      Bb        Fm           Ab Ddim
Now I find; indeed the inheritance is
Eb     Bb     Fm7 Bb
Beautiful to me
Could I devise the path my life has taken
	My choices and my destiny
I would leave it all in my Father’s hand
	For it all is so beautiful to me

	No idol names will I take up
Jehovah is the only
portion of my cup
		Chorus
Eb     Bb      Fm  Bb  Eb      Bb    Fm Ddim
beautiful to me,          beautiful to me

*2 Chron. 5:12-13*
All the Levitical singers...
clothed in fine linen, 
with cymbals & with harps & lyres, 
were standing east of the altar; 
and 120 priests who blew the trumpets 
were with them. 

And when the trumpeters & the singers 
were one to make themselves heard 
with one voice 
in praising & in giving thanks to Jehovah, 
and when they lifted up their voice 
with trumpets & with cymbals 
& with musical instruments 
in praise to Jehovah, saying, 
For He is good, 
for His lovingkindness is forever; 
then the house, the house of Jehovah, 
was filled with a cloud.

These are they who have not been defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are they who follow the Lamb wherever He may go. These were purchased from among men as firstfruits to God & to the Lamb.

*Inspirations given to me on the Significance of Hymns*
Our words could only explain, 
but hymns bring us to the heavenly realm.

Loving You is all I'm living for

Simplify this heart of mine

 Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness, And let Your faithful ones give a ringing shout.💞
Psalm 132:9
