A Beautiful World

by Alex

As I awoke, I began to listen,
A bird was singing, the water, it glistened.
A flower opening bright in bloom,
A reminder that spring would be here soon.
The grass was green, the animals played,
I pondered and thought, I sat amazed.
How do some believe its true,
That God did not make me or you?
Just to look around, I see it clear,
That surely God must be here.
We are not here just by some chance,
Just watch the way the fireflies dance.
The butterflies painted so perfectly
By the same One, Who created me.
Who made the ocean the purest blue?
Its simple. The same God, who created you.
Early in the morning, I can watch the sunrise,
The One Who made those colors, painted my eyes.
Some still look, unable to see,
God around them, or God in me.
God made the Bible, the world, its true,
But sometimes we forget, He lives in us too.
He made us part of such a beautiful place,
He gives us love, mercy, and grace.
I look up, to the clouds in the sky,
I know He is there, though I do not know why,
He would give His Son so I could be,
With Him forever, eternally.
Only a small thing of us He asks,
He requests only a simple, small, small task.
He asks not of us that we die in His place,
He took care of our debt, He gives us grace.
His request is simply that we live
For Him because His Son He did give.
Beauty surrounds us, just look and you'll see,
A blooming flower, a buzzing bee.
You do not have to go to a place far away,
To see God's masterpiece, made in six days.
He made each thing special, including you,
So put Him first in all that you do.
