My Autumn Song

   I am always awestruck by the beauty of the leaves during autumn. A few years ago I wrote these words down as I gazed at the trees in the back of our house. It looked like someone had reached out with a paintbrush and painted the leaves with bright reds and yellows, making a last attempt at giving us some cheer before the drear of winter set in. I wish the fall season would last a little longer than it does, but because it is so short, I make sure I enjoy the beauty of the colors while I can. As you go leaf-peeping this year, remember Who made the beauty of this world for us, and remember that where we are going will be so much more beautiful than we can even imagine. Happy autumn!

When I see the awesome colors of the autumn leaves,
When I behold the wonders in the deep;
To see the mountains standing so majestically,
I see the touch of the Master Artist’s hand.
When I consider the heavens with the moon and stars,
What is man, that Thou should visit him?
For You can hold the waters in the hollow of Your hand,
And You can measure out the heavens with Your span.

Chorus:
For Who is this, the King of Glory?
And Who is He, the Great I Am?
Who brought to us salvation’s story,
He’s the Ruler and Maker of it all.

There is no language where His voice cannot be heard,
There is no place where His handiwork’s not seen;
For even rocks and trees will give their praise to Him,
And the forests echo out His love.
It’s the breath of God that lays the frost upon the ground,
He gave the sun and moon for seasons too. (Psa
104:19)
Oh Lord, how manifold are thy works in all the earth (Psa
104:24)
I will bless the Lord my God with all my soul.

Chorus:
For Who is this, the King of Glory?
And Who is He, the Great I Am?
Who brought to us salvation’s story,
He’s the Ruler and Maker of it all.

Jesus is the King of glory,
Jesus is the Great I Am.
He brought to us salvations story,
He’s the Ruler and Maker of it all. 
Jesus is the reason that I live!
