I Stand In Awe Of You has solid lyrics, is singable and, since it’s not too long, serves as a corporate song confessing faith.
It can be sung in a range of tempos effectively as well.
And, yes, I am aware of Sovereign Grace ministries’ issues.
This is a good song.
The lyrics (along with scores and other resources):
1
You are beautiful beyond description
Too marvelous for words
Too wonderful for comprehension
Like nothing ever seen or heard
Who can grasp Your infinite wisdom?
Who can fathom the depth of Your love?
You are beautiful beyond description
Majesty, enthroned above
Chorus
And I stand, I stand in awe of You
I stand, I stand in awe of You
Holy God, to whom all praise is due
I stand in awe of You
2
You are beautiful beyond description
Yet God crushed You for my sin
In agony and deep affliction
Cut off that I might enter in
Who can grasp such tender compassion?
Who can fathom this mercy so free?
You are beautiful beyond description
Lamb of God who died for me
Chorus
Words & Music: Mark Altrogge.

Here’s SGM’s lyric video of the recording of the song from their retrospective album ’30’.
This is in the slower range.
