Beauty

i strive for beauty but i fail in my accord

beauty demands a price, one i cannot possibly afford

but for beauty i would give my life for without it life seems bleak

for what makes life worth living is that of which we speak

Our God is a God of beauty and he works in great detail

he shapes the world around us and all that it entails

to create our own beauty is to mirror God alone

and to stand in awe of it is to bow down at his throne.
