Have you ever gone out side in the middle of the night and just looked at the sky
have you ever gone out side after the rain falls and look upon
the rainbow in the sky
have you ever taken time to realy look at yourself and say i am special
have you ever taken time to look outside your window and just stare
stare in to the wilderness of nature
have you ever watched a bird fly ever so gracefully
have you ever seen the look of joy
upon the face of a young woman as she embraces new life
have you ever taken time to realy think about something more than life its self
have you ever taken time to think of someone besides yourself
have you ever gotten a gift so wonderful that you could not let it go
have you ever acceptaed a gift that brings you joy
Well i have from the artwork of God
For i have seen the beauty of the night
For i have seen the rainbow after the rain
the promise of grace
For i have seen that i am truely special
and that i am unique
For i have seen the beauty that lies in nature
For i have been graced by the birds as they fly by
For i have seen the face of a mother as she embraces new life
For i have seen the face of christians light up with joy
when one has claimed new life
i have thought of life after life and death after death
For i have cried for the lost souls
Yes i have received the gift of Life
And all of this has been painted upon the Canvas of Earth
Both life and life made new
and death
and glourious life witch follows
but not all things are good
for evil has wrought upon us sorrow
and greif and scorn and hate
and fate leads us to the cross
but we turn away evey day
but we forget it is God who paints this picture
it is He who know and sees what we cannot
so go where he leads and listen to His words
and a beautiful picture you will see.
