ONLY IN HIM

 

So much beauty in this world,

But none can match a rose uncurled –

Watch a lily of the field undress

Or watch a child as they rest –

 

O, how this heart beats in me . . .

All this before my eyes can see –

Water flowing from a gentle spring,

As the wind has nothing in can claim –

 

O! the beauty everywhere I go,

As I watch a gentle river flow . . .

It’s like seeing a baby smile,

I just sit and watch for a while –

 

Thoughts of wonderment are so small

As I try to understand it all –

But then, there are no words to say,

Except, God grant me another day –

 

“If I could paint a world for you,

And in my eyes, you could see, too,

That God gave this beauty to us . . .

But it’s only in Him that we can trust!”
