The Master Artist

You applied the brush stroke of this morning To the canvas of our lives Adding colors of your glory To the dawning of first light The beauty that surrounds creation Is placed there by the Master Artists hand From the deep green of a forest meadow To the light beige of the oceans sand You drew the silhouette of distant mountains To add balance to the desert plains Giving just a taste of what awaits The children known by your name The detail of the stars above The beauty in an innocent smile Makes us gaze with hearts of longing To the day when all this will pale There we will see you in all your glory On the streets of shining gold Beside the streams of crystal waters The purest beauty ever known Where you have used the brightest colors Heavens canvas shining rays of light Worshiping the true beauty above all others The Artist who drew us into this life...
