God's Masterpiece

God's masterpiece

I feel the blood rushing in my veins,
I don't even have to think about it...
it pulses inside me just the same


I feel the air passing through my lips,
I don't even have to think about it...
it fills me up to my fingertips


I feel my heart beating in my chest,
I don't even have to think about it...
it keeps beating, til I'm laid to rest


Chorus
Oh Lord-I see...
just how wonderfully I am made
You knew me even before I was born
Now to you alone-I give praise


I feel the love burning in my heart
I don't even have to think about it...
YOU planted it inside me from the start


I feel the thoughts churning in my brain
I don't even have to think about it...
YOU inspired them to praise YOUR name


Bridge 1
So many slander YOUR great name
they deny YOUR power to create
Father help them please...
to recognize YOU and YOUR majesty


Chorus
Oh Lord-I see...
just how wonderfully I am made
You knew me even before I was born
Now to you alone-I give praise


I feel my arms reaching for YOUR touch
I don't even have to think about it...
YOUR love embraces me, Oh so much


Chorus
Oh Lord-I see...
just how wonderfully I am made
You knew me even before I was born
Now to you alone-I give praise

Bridge 2
Dear God, we are your masterpiece..
oh how wonderfully we are made

Oh, how wonderfully we are made!
Oh, how wonderfully we are made
repeat and fade

John, I've not seen a more meaning poem (song) than yours as expressed here. Thank you for sharing your heart and your love for God, our Creator, and His Son and our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is heart warming to see other poets who unashamedly share their faith and their great talent to write poems. Thank you, my friend, and I pray you and yours have a Happy Thanksgiving and an extremely wonderful and Merry Christmas!
