Beautiful Life
"He (GOD) hath made every thing beautiful in his time..." Ecclesiastes 3:11 of the King James Bible
Beautiful life indeed precious
packed with love and care, so gracious
my heart exclaims glad gratitude…
seeking God for blessings’ magnitude.
Beautiful chance of victory
conquering bitterness' fury
I seek peaceful joy's certitude…
praising God for peaceful solitude.
Beautiful gain for work's hardship
revealing earnest stewardship
faith helps transform my attitude…
exalting God for braced fortitude.
Beautiful bliss midst contentment
for ministerial engagement
my soul needs divine rectitude…
trusting God for shielding beatitude.
Beautiful heart with kindness-zeal
bears fruits along prayerful seal
stretch my reaching-out altitude
thanking God for His love’s latitude.
