My Heart Is Amazed

My heart is amazed by His boundless compassion
My heart is in awe of the love of the Lord
The hand of His mercy endureth forever
What riches of kindness in heaven are stored!

My heart is amazed at the sight of creation
My heart is in awe of the works of the King
The fountains and river, the depth of the ocean,
The rock and the trees of His greatness shall sing!

My heart is amazed on the height of the mountain
My heart is in awe of the stars in the sky
Unmoving, unchanging, the Lord is eternal
Though years of the mortal so quickly fly by

My heart is amazed by the lamb and the lion
My heart is in awe of the birds in the air
Created for man by the hands of the Master
The heights and the depths of his dwelling to share

My heart is amazed by the King of the nations
My heart is in awe of His death on the tree
The Lamb that was Slain, by the word of the Father
Arose from the grave my Redeemer to be!

This is quite wonderful Isaiah. I can't believe that any one could claim this wonderful creation to be happenstance. Congratulations on a well deserved win. Love, Joyce

Great way to go for the contest..I had thought about going in the faith direction..You have done really well..Good luck in the contest..Reads like a winner to me..Thanks for stopping by..My garden has been neglected for several years now..My health has been spiraling down hill and that keeps me from being able to work out there..At one time I had some beautiful flowers..Sara
