I watch the sunset as this day
slowly begins to fade away.
The dimming sunlight signals another days end
with a breathtaking display of pink, orange, and red.
Into this world You’ve poured so much emotion.
Who could possibly look upon this earth and deny
Your endless passion and devotion?
I’m astounded by the enormous amount of beauty
I find in this temporary place.
When I try to imagine the beauty of heaven,
I’m beyond amazed!
My mind can’t even begin to comprehend the beauty
my eternal home must hold.
Heaven must overflow with more glorious beauty
than could ever possibly be told!
From the clouds floating effortlessly across the morning sky,
to the leaves, which seem to playfully dance upon the breeze
as they gracefully glide by;
I think of white-capped waves rolling across the mighty ocean,
and I’m nothing short of mesmerized as I sit back to ponder
on my mystified notion.
I gaze upon this living masterpiece You’ve created
with Your loving hands.
When I see the details You’ve carefully added throughout
Each and every land;
I confess, I simply can’t help feeling blessed.
I’m amazed that I am one of the chosen
to live upon this earth and be allowed to witness
the beauty of Your artwork in motion.
Crystal raindrops pour down from the heavens above
as You shower Your creation in a refreshing rain of love.
A flower begins to slowly open and stretch its petals out wide.
It brings itself as close to its Maker as possible
by reaching as close as it can towards the sky.
The air grows crisp and there’s a chill in the breeze.
Suddenly autumn surrounds me
as it overtakes the leaves on the trees.
They cover the earth in an awesome array
as they proudly bear the colors You’ve blessed them with
in a brilliant display.
As the temperatures drop further still,
with a peaceful silence the earth seems to be filled.
I wake one morning to find that during the night
You’ve covered the ground
in a glistening blanket of blue and white.
From the clouds floating effortlessly across the morning sky,
to the leaves, which seem to playfully dance upon the breeze
as they gracefully glide by;
I think of white-capped waves rolling across the mighty ocean,
and I’m nothing short of mesmerized as I sit back to ponder
on my mystified notion.
I gaze upon this living masterpiece You’ve created
with Your loving hands.
When I see the details You’ve carefully added throughout
Each and every land;
I confess, I simply can’t help feeling blessed.
I’m amazed that I am one of the chosen
to live upon this earth and be allowed to witness
the beauty of Your artwork in motion.
There have been many that have taken my breath away
with the wonder and beauty their hands can create.
I’ve watched in amazement as some have made beautiful vessels
from lumps of lifeless clay.
Still others can leave me in awe at the masterpiece they create
on a blank canvas using only their imagination
along with some brushes and paint.
Yet, You are the greatest artist the world has ever known,
and I’m reminded of this each time
a precious child is born.
There has never been another who has shown more artistic devotion.
While the artwork of many hangs upon museum walls,
You’ve filled Your artwork with the breath of life and set it in motion.
I look out my window and see
The endless beauty You’ve created all around me.
The beauty of it all reaches beyond the limits of my human mind.
When I gaze upon this world, it’s not simply the beauty in nature,
but Your immense love for all You’ve created that I find.
From the clouds floating effortlessly across the morning sky,
