So some friends and I went to Yosemite last week... it was a great time of hanging out, being cheesy, appreciating God's creation, and having time of personal reflection... and then back to being cheesy again. I definitely miss being there and would recommend you go if you get the chance! Anyway, I wrote a quick song and the lyrics are wordy and don't make much sense, but you can kind of make sense of what I'm talking about if you read the words with the pic next to it. Just wanted to share it because seriously God deserves some credit for His handiwork! When I look at these pictures... seriously it seems like creation is screaming praise....  Behold, my eyes, the creativity of your God manifested in creation! Look as far as your sight can see, Trace the horizon off of rocky peaks lit up by the rising sun And you'll capture a glimpse of His glory. Oh, compell my heart to sing!  You are my God and my maker, Maker of heaven and earth. The earth sings a silent song proclaiming your great worth! Worthy are you Lord Almighty! Almighty Great I AM, I am amazed that in all of your splendor you are mindful of me! (well... mindful of she in the picture above... she's the little vertical line on the cliff's edge) 
Meandering river, carved by the finger of God, how your swiftly your streams soar off this stone (stoh-own!)! 
Like your waters His grace pours down off of the Rock of Ages Like a waterfall divine that refreshes me with a misty breeze on a sunny day and rainbows pave its way! 
Oh it's clear in this place that all of this your hands have made And your hand has created, is composing, and is conducting life's symphony! *sidenote: whoa... if you're reading this Paul (or anyone for that matter), I think you were right when you called me a xanga nerd... I could've made this simple but instead it took a ridiculous amount of time posting this thing with pictures. haha... oh well, I guess that concludes the year 2007. |
