When strolling by a babbling brook,
The flowers in the sunlight glisten,
My heart is happy to feel such bliss,
Such wondrous beauty I perceive--
I feel it in the sunlight kiss--
And yet I know
That heaven's more then this!
The poet's in their words so fair,
Try praising beauty on a page
Supposing they should capture it there---
The wondrous stream, the bird on air--
And yet, the beauty of this world
That is as man perceives,
Cannot be compared to the glorious beauty
That awaits the man that believes,
In the saving grace of Jesus,
Who shed His blood for sin
To make the unsaved righteous,
That we may dwell with Him.
He's promised us far more
Than this world can offer man!
The most beautiful thing a man
can know---
Is God's salvation plan!
