A HIGHER POWER THAN YOU AND I

Who is it that makes the sky so blue
Who made  the clouds just that color too?
Who was it, I wonder, that could really  do
Such wonderful artwork for me and you?

Did you ever notice how perfect the color
Of  the leaves in the fall with their colorful hue?
Have you noticed the sunrise  and its brillance
Doesn't it make you stand in awe at its  greatness?

There are so many wonders and beauties around  us
How could we not believe in a higher power?
Yes, my friend, I do see  the hand
Of a higher power than mortal man.

You see the sky and the clouds are so  perfect
The colors of fall so beautifully depicted.
The grass is so  intricately patterened
The waters so many different colors and  hues.

Only God with His greatness and power
Could  have made a world of such awesome wonder.
Only God who can see all of our  hearts
Could know that we hunger for that art!

Think of the music of the wind in the  pines
The melodious harmonies of the creatures at night.
What beautiful  symphonies we can encounter
If we but stop and take time to listen and  ponder!

Our God He is great and wondrous and  alive
Just look at the night sky and stars of light!
We are so blessed and  so very right
If we but accept the God of all wonder and might!

Psalms 8:1 & 3
1)"O Lord, our Lord, how  excellent is thy name in all the earth!
who has set thy glory above the  heavens.
3)When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the  moon
and the stars, which thou hast  ordained"
