God's Masterpiece


As waves on the seashore 
our lives roll by
like sand on the beaches
or stars in the sky.

We each leave an imprint
on others around
our lives a reflection
of love we have found.


Since the beginning 
the dawning of time
we have been searching 
for reason or rhyme.

looking for answers 
to why we exist
there must be a purpose
'cause pain we resist.


Yes, we were created 
to rule and reign
not off in the future
on some distant plain.

Our King is forever
His kingdom has come
when He cried it's finished
the victory was won!



Our lives are for living
not just getting by
embracing each sunset 
and new morning sky.

We each have a purpose
for being on earth
brushing on canvas
the color of worth.


 A beautiful painting
a tapestry given
our Father is painting
and weaving from Heaven.

We are His beauty
that He has released
a life of such value
We're God's masterpiece.

The Greatest Gift

He was born inside a stable
a lowly place indeed.
A tiny baby given 
 would grow as Heaven's seed.

Angels heralded the news
shepherds saw the star
Singing glory in the highest
 peace both near and far.

The wonder of His birth
the joy we now proclaim
because Father gave us Christmas
we will never be the same.




Let's celebrate His gift 
the simplicity of it all.
Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior
a soft place on which we fall.

Christmas came so long ago 
a day we celebrate
 sparkling lights and winter snow 
we can hardly wait.

Just remember on that morn
with every gift that's given
The greatest gift we'll ever know
was Grace sent down from Heaven.
