Once more I see the beauty of nature
Created by the Master’s hand
The trees in various shades of green
Bowing in reverence across the land
As lovingly they caressed by the breeze
And kissed by the morning sun
Flowers arrayed in colours so gay
Their magnificent perfume overshadowed by none
The majestic mountains reaching up to the sky
In all their glorious splendour
The snow white clouds in skies of blue
The doe with eyes so tender
The bubbling springs and streams so gentle
Raging rivers after a storm
The turbulent seas with their fleeting emotions
The indescribable wonder of dawn
The sunrise reflecting a birth in the morning
A life through the day, at sunset a death
And portraying Christ in His burial and resurrection
Rising in the East, setting in the West
The golden moon reflecting the sunlight
The twinkling stars that brighten the night
The fireflies glowing as they fly to and fro
Dancing and singing in great delight
The croaking of frogs leaping in exultation
The melodious song of a nightingale
The mournful owl calling in mock lamentation
The surfacing of the awesome blue whale
The innocent face of a child at play
A blessed reminder of Jesus
Who left His Glory to dwell amongst men
Lowly, inconspicuous
To die for our sins on a cross, hacked and bleeding
Wounded, in great agony
Then I realise that God’s greatest masterpiece
Was my Jesus at Calvary
