He is Beautiful

In this world there are many things for the eyes to see,
The colors are lovely displayed endlessly;
The sky is blue some would say,
But I’ve seen countless color-combinations on display.
The mountains can tinted green, brown or white,
Or blue, pink or purple to cause watching eyes delight.
Water seems at times blue, brown and green too,
The shades of trees, grasses and flowers amaze you.
But when a glimpse comes to reveal,
The Treasure of Heaven and His touch you feel;
There is nothing that can compare.
All life’s treasures are found there.
Jesus is beautiful, so beautiful; in wonder we become aware,
That so great and so amazing is the gift He shares.
His love gave His life to give life to the lost.
He suffered to pay our debt of sin on the cross.
He is beautiful, so beautiful is all my heart can say.
All I am and ever will be is invested in His name.
I am free to live with eyes able now to behold,
All the beauty that this life can hold.
And I am able to recognize the One who lit the way for me
So His beauty is evident in all that I see.

John 8:12
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

You Fill My Day By Brenda Drake

I used to feel very empty; I had little purpose and I had fears of every kind. Then I found the Lord and He completely filled every part of me; heart, mind, body and soul. Each day is a new day I get to live with Him, in Him, and with Him within me. Oh yes Jesus now fills my day.

You Fill My Day

You fill my day with sunshine even in the rain.
You are a comfort to my soul that in trouble remains.
You take away fear that tries to overtake,
With Your strength within it all the difference makes.
Faith grows and flourishes when I plant Your Word within.
It covers like a shield to protect darts from entering in.
You provide my every need; all I need to do is ask.
Under Your covering in rest I bask.
My heart sings a tune that continues night and day,
A love song that changes in each prayer prayed.
I am led by Holy Spirit, who is steadfast and true,
Guiding me with persistent care to the right way choose.
Jesus You are the Way, the one way to love’s eternal touch.
I am overwhelmed with the prospect of such love.
You are all I need, everything else falls behind.
You are True-Love and I am thrilled You are mine.

Psalms 73:25-26
Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

Never were the colors of life as beautiful and bright as the day I confessed and repented my sins and asked Jesus to be my Savior. The more I behold the truth and begin to comprehend the majesty of God the more precious Jesus is to me. He is beautiful.

He is Beautiful

There are so many things in the world to see
Lovely colors displayed endlessly
The sky color is blue some would say
But I’ve seen countless color combinations on display
Mountains and hills tinted green, brown or white,
Or even blue, pink or purple cause observing eyes delight.
Rivers and streams sometimes look blue, brown and green.
The many shades of trees, grass and flowers are amazing
But when we get a glimpse to reveal,
The Treasure of Heaven and His touch we feel;
There is nothing that can compare to Him.
All life’s riches are found in Him
He is beautiful, so beautiful.. in wonder we become aware,
The amazingly marvelous gift He shares.
His love offered His life to give life to the lost.
He suffered greatly to pay our debt of sin on the cross.
He is beautiful, so beautiful is all my heart can say;
All I am and ever will be is invested in His name.
I am free to live with eyes able now to behold,
All the beauty that this new life can hold.
I am able to recognize the One who lights the way for me;
So His beauty is evident in all that I see.
