Nothing

Nothing
Nothing is lovelier than planet earth 
Bar the moon and silvery stars above
Earth is our homeland and we’re free to roam 
This gift made for us with the hands of love.

When sun’s slipping into the horizon
A glorious golden glow meets the eye
I'm positive I've seen what I believe
Is a vision of paradise in sky.

Nothing’s as precious as life that God gives
To you and to me, to the birds on wings
All creatures that grace this wonderful world
Trees and flora in divine colourings.

We're given daylight to view all the sights
Of many magnificent scenes we’re blessed 
Dark for peaceful tranquility of night 
When the weary world and its people rest.

Some have the opinion God doesn't exist 
Though there's nothing comes from nothing at all
So many wonders in the universe
I believe the Lord made all that enthrals.

Beauty abound can't fail to astound us
It's the miracle maker’s creation
An almighty act of His providence
Nothing upon earth’s short of sensation.
