The Master Artist

Praise you Lord Jesus,
Praise for all I see.
The wonders of creation 
Are ever before me.

I don’t take them for granted,
The leaves upon the ground,
And as I walk upon them
I notice the crumbling sound.

I no longer take for granted
The waters of the stream
Running lazily over the rocks,
All else is quiet, it seems.

And then I see the rays 
Of the sun upon the hill.
You have laid these all before me 
With the greatest artistic skill.

You are the Master Artist
Who adds just the right touch.
For this, Your earth framed canvas
I thank you Lord so much.
