Worlds Set Apart

Oh, The beauty of the forest streams;
Where high above the eagle screams,
And from the mountains echoes call;
I hear a distant waterfall.

I walk the rocks along the stream;
I ponder this a wondrous scene.
Natures smells and sights and sounds;
God s blessings everywhere abound.

Pink Rhododendron in full bloom;
I bow to smell it's sweet perfume,
And as my eyes lift up I see;
There stands a deer, he looks at me.

He stands just by the waters edge;
To watch him drink a privilege.
Then off he runs through yonder trees;
And disappears through forest leaves.

I feel so very blessed today;
To see God's wonders on display.
For through them He calls out to man;
I have a purpose, I have a plan.

For by design He made us all.
The fields, the trees, and mountains tall.
The deer beside the flowing stream;
Speaks of our God who can Redeem.

For in this world of natures thrills;
Like flowers spread across the hills.
There is a world that's set a apart;
It is the world within your heart.

One of two worlds, abide in you;
A place of peace and morning dew,
Or thirsting desert wasting way.
That lives in night, while it is day.

And as He touched this world with all;
It s blessing, like the waterfall.
He'll touch the heart that trust in Him;
With His sweet rest and peace within.

"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on thee:
because he trusteth in thee."
Isaiah 26:3
