God's Greatest Work of Art
God’s greatest work of art isn’t mankind
It isn’t the food we eat at mealtime.
It isn’t the leaves that fall from the tree,
It isn’t the honey we get from a bee.
It isn’t the stranger who became our friend,
It isn’t the money we love to spend.
It isn’t the green grass covering the ground
It isn’t the snakes slithering around.
God’s greatest work of art can be seen everyday
It surrounds our world as we hurry on our way.
It’s the majestic sunrise that greets each day
It’s the sweet smell of fresh cut hay.
It’s a child’s smile innocent and pure
It’s a doctor’s intelligence developing a cure.
It’s the song of rain dancing on the roof
It’s the crunch of snow beneath a horse’s hoof.
It’s the gift of love we share with each other
It’s the miracle of life when you become a mother.
It’s the enchanting sunset bringing on the night
It’s the simple knowledge of what’s wrong and what’s right.
It’s the strength and courage to face our fears
It’s the gift of memories from our past years.
It’s the millions of stars blanketing the sky
It’s the flight of an eagle soaring up high.
It’s the colorful rainbow after the storm
It’s the way we come together when our lives are torn.
God’s greatest work of art isn’t mankind
It’s the birth of peace at Christmas time.
It’s a special love two people share
It’s a heavenly angel watching over us with care.
