[@luismendoza3511]

This song reminds me of Job. “God please don’t take this beautiful things” and the verse that says that whatever he gives he can take out. This song sounds like a prayer.

[@katy_21210]

Love that

I agree.. I have Stage IV breast cancer, and the day I heard my husband with this song on repeat, I broke into tears... It hits on so many levels..

[@firefighteralex101]

You should listen to Joseph Obrien's song "Whose This Man", its about Job and how he loves God even through the trials.

[@nicolechristmas3994]

That's my interpretation of it since romantic love hasn't been kind to me. I center it around my children and my will to live happily despite adversity

[@duckymomo6675]

i need him to release a full length album IMMEDIATELY. he’s insanely talented.

He already has a previous album out if that's what you're looking for! Although it sounds a bit different than beautiful things, and I think he promised to release another album soon(?)

Benson is someone who you will not be disappointed in seeing live. His voice is amazing. Paying so much damn money for an artist's concert just to hear trash and nothing like the album version is so disheartening. I love this dude!

I was listening to this for months on my Christian songs playlist and didn’t even realise how big it had gotten! I’m surprised he didn’t recognise God at all in this interview but references Him so much in the song..

He wasnt talking to God in the song, fyi.

I think he’ll become more of a bebe rexha. She’s not super a interesting or unique person and her songs are very catchy and well made but a little generic so not many people know who she is despite hearing a lot of her songs

[@lgin10315]

@@vexxi1470 Does she write all her own incredible songs? Does she have a voice that compares to ‘Freddie’ quality (female-wise)? Does she do flips on stage? I have a feeling he will be and is becoming more of a legend than BeBe Rexha. 🤷🏼‍♀️Just my opinion!

[@elizabethlarue7224]

So happy his upper range isn't fake it's a blessing. Also great feeling to relate to him around 2:33 when he kinda rushes the rhythm into the chorus cause he literally has nothing but himself to keep the rhythm. Maybe I'm not as bad of a musician as I thought. Thank you for the inspiration ❤

[@natalieriv28]

This song reminds me of the Bible verse Job 1:21 “The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord” Satan attacked Job’s property, children, health, and more. Job, a blameless and upright man who feared God and turned away from evil, cried out from a posture of grief and worship. Despite the overwhelming grief and pain, Job maintains an unwavering faith in God. God is worthy of our praise!
