Beautiful

by Shawn McDonald

As I look into the stars

Pondering how far away they are

How You hold them in your hands

And still You know this man

You know my inner most being, oh

Even better than I know, than I know myself

What a beautiful God

What a beautiful God

And what am I, that I might be called Your child

What am I, what am I

That You might know me, my King

What am I, what am I, what am I

As I look into the distance

Watching the sun roll on by

Beautiful colors all around me, oh

Painted all over the sky

The same hands that created all of this

They created you and I

What a beautiful God

What a beautiful God

And what am I, that I might be called your child

What am I, what am I

That you might know me, my King

What am I, what am I

That you might die, that I might live

What am I, what am I, what am I, what am I

What am I

Sometimes I am so amazed by the beauty of God's creation. It blows me away! Some people really connect with God the most through singing, reading, etc. For me it is more naturalistic; when I am surrounded by nature or learning about our bodies and how detailed we are each designed. It makes me remember how BIG He really is. I am nothing compared to Him. When I was a child, before I even made the connection that it was God who created this, I remember thinking that someone very powerful and important must have made all these beautiful things. It is baffling that the same person who created those mountains, the blue color of the sky, and each leaf on each branch of every tree in the world is the same person who created me. Wow! What am I to think the world should revolve around me at times? Praise God for who he is and how BIG and important he really is. What a beautiful God!
