the moon is a sliver of silver

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard (and one of my favorites)...

"And the moon is a sliver of silver
Like a shaving that fell on the floor of a Carpenter's shop
And every house must have it's builder
And I awoke in the house of God
Where the windows are mornings and evenings
Stretched from the sun
Across the sky, north to south
And on my way to early meeting
I heard the rocks crying out. I heard the rocks crying out...

Be praised for all Your tenderness by these works of Your hands
Suns that rise and rains that fall to bless and bring to life Your land
Look down upon this winter wheat and be glad that You have made
Blue for the sky and the color green that fills these fields with praise

And the wrens have returned and they're nesting
In the hollow of that oak where his heart once had been
And he lifts up his arms in a blessing for being born again
And the streams are all swollen with winter
Winter unfrozen and free to run away now
And I'm amazed when I remember
Who it was that built this house
And with the rocks I cry out...

Be praised for all Your tenderness by these works of Your hands
Suns that rise and rains that fall to bless and bring to life Your land
Look down upon this winter wheat and be glad that You have made
Blue for the sky and the color green"

I love when I actually have time just to sit back and reflect on the "house" in which we live. I try so hard not to forget that our Father created all of the things around us. I don't understand why I don't worship Him every time I walk outside and look at the grass, trees and the sky. I wish I weren't so distracted so that I could just be in awe of His creation more. This song is so beautiful to me because it kind of describes my feelings during the few times that I actually sit back in wonder of this place that the Lord created for us. It's so beautiful. We walk on grass touched by our Creator. We draw air that was first breathed by our Father. The water in which we swim flowed first from His hands. Blue for the sky and the color green look so much more beautiful when I remember that He thought up this stuff.

And I try to be in control?!? Sigh...

Blows my mind...

Have a great day guys
