To Live A Life That Is...
Bright And Beautiful
To see God's hand in everything.
To know my Life is pleasing Him,
will make my Heart to sing.
But when I do but realize ...
as His mighty creation came to be.
This awesome God took a moment
to Mold and Create Me.
He spoke a Word, and there they were,
Mountains, Glens and roaring Sea ...
Each a part of His mighty plan,
and within this plan I'd be.
Just a Woman, not a twinkling Star ...
or rapid flowing Spring
And yet He whispers to my Soul,
"Much Joy to Me You bring.
"Tears fill my eyes... my heart it grows
with unimaginable Love.
For I am 'His Bright and Beautiful' ...
as He smiles from up above.
He spoke ... and there was a butterfly
and tiny drops of glistening dew.
Not a single thing was missed ...
as He provided for Me and You
'Bright and Beautiful' ...
will be my life ... If I live it as I could
Then, when He looks on this creation,
God can say ...
"And indeed it was Very Good."
"All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small
All things wise and wonderful
The Lord God made them all.
Each little flow'r that opens
Each little bird that sings
He made their glowing colors
He made their tiny wings.
The cold wind in the winter
The pleasant summer sun
The ripe fruits in the garden
He made them, every one.
He gave us eyes to see them
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty
Who has made all things well.
C. F. Alexander
