At the amazing things you do How the waters stay in the oceans And the vast beauty of the view How the stars are hung in the sky Within them is written your word How we are the following sheep And you are the only Shepherd How the sky is painted with color Bursts of orange in the sunset glow How much knowledge it took to make And how little us humans know How intricately you planned it There was nothing you left unthought From the delicacy of a baby To all the sins of ours you bought There's no other love that's out there As deep and as faithful and true No other comfort to be found Because nothing compares to you Nothing compares to your miracles Or the listening time you spend How you always take good care of us And our broken hearts that you mend To us, our problems like mountains To you, they're no problem at all You're ever so watchful and there To help catch us, when we do fall I'm just sitting here filled with wonder At the awesome things that you do At being our Lord and Savior Because nothing compares to You! <*\\\>< Where there is faith, there is love. Where there is love, there is peace. Where there is peace, there is GOD. Where there is GOD, there is no need. Hallmark |

*singing* Cause nothing compares, nothing compares, to youuuuuu.....hehe sorry couldn't resist, this is beautiful Rebecca, and oh so true, nothing does compare to Him, and it did take much knowledge for Him to make everything...so much more then we can ever comprehend. Though some will claim they know everything yet be totally wrong). Nothing can compare to anything that He does and what He does is truly a blessing! This is beautiful! Just be glad I'm not your child! *evil grin* |

Rebecca, this is SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!...sometimes I just sit in awe of the beauty around us...all his gifts to us...from sunrise to sunset...so much to be thankful for... this poem expresses these emotions with grace... take care, janet marie Some things cannot be explained by verses that rhyme, They are not measured by the commitment of time. Some emotions run too deep to be described by words, Forgiveness and understanding- remain the most beautiful words ever heard. Janet Marie |

Well thank you Michael! He is awesome and leaves me in wonder and amazement quite often. Serenity thanks so much! I'm glad you'll share it with the kids. <*\\\>< When you can't make up your mind Which way is right for you, Stop and softly ask yourself, What Would Jesus Do? |

Whtdove - not only did this beautiful poem remind me of that song (yes it definitely comes through in the poem), it made me think of a small child, always in awe of it's surroundings. Such a grateful spirit, and with such grace that you delivered it. It is those with childlike spirits that are pleasing to God... he sure will be smiling at you my dear. Thanks for sharing! |
