You Make Beautiful Things

You make beautiful things.
From nothing you formed the world.
Tiny lights in the midnight sky form galaxies afar,
Waters deep with hidden treasures,
Lofty peaks of snow-capped wonders,
Cascading waters over bulging boulders, waves upon the sand,
Imagination, so vast, revealed by the stroke of your hand.

Cycles set in motion speak of order You have made,
Snowflakes melt to rushing creeks, evaporate into rain.
Spring brings forth bright colors, purples, reds and blues,
Life flourishing in every corner, all is fresh and new.
Summer heat, the rain is scarce, life struggles to survive,
Autumn breeze, cooling rain, preparing for what’s to come,
Winter freeze, harsh cold snow, hope for life after death,
All these rhythms you’ve designed, declared by the sound of your breath.

All around we see your beauty,
A smile from a stranger, a child’s first words,
A husband who brings flowers,
A mom who knows just what to say,
The steady voice of a father,
A friend who is never far away,
Whispers that say, “I love you”,
Conversations in the dark of night,
All these things we hold so dear,
Speak of your marvelous delights.

Life passes by like a rushing wind,
There are bumps and rocky roads.
But along our path you hold us, with hands so great and gentle,
And give us words of wisdom that tell us the way to go.
You give us strength and give us love, oh Master of the world.
Precious moments that show great care,
You are glorious, You are awesome, You are there.
