“He has made everything beautiful in its time…” Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but one can hardly fail to see beauty in all of God’s creation.
“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” Ecclesiastes 3:11
Beautiful In Its Time
Out of solemn darkness, from the night did he make;
the dazzling warmth and awesome brightness of daybreak.
God created everything…beautiful in its time.
From the heavens, a vast canopy reaching high above;
to the depths of the earth, nothing was made without His love.
From the graceful creatures that swim in the sea;
to the soaring birds of the air; how can it be?
God created everything…beautiful in its time.
From lush vegetation bursting with life;
a bountiful harvest brought forth without strife.
From the dust of the earth, and the breath of His soul,
God made man and woman; together with Him they are whole.
God created everything…beautiful in its time.
God created all things on the earth full of beauty;
to nurture and preserve them, that is our humble duty.
What a wonder, what a treasure, this place in which we live.
To my creator and my God, to you all gratitude do I give.
