Today as I looked around and I visioned all the beauty before my eyes
The noises all around me of every day life
The birds were flying, the butterflies landing, the wind blowing through the trees
It's all a miracle from our Lord, For He is the one who gave us this beauty that we see.

While I was focusing on all these things, I also thought about our life
It's given to us by the Creator of it, and yet we so easily let it slip by
We take life for granted, that were gonna live on and on
But in God's word man was born and will die, for our days are numbered thats known.

Through our natural birth, He gave us life here as we know it
But it is even a vapour that appeareth for a little time
And then it vanishes away
We should live each day to the fullest, making Christ the center of our days.

We also have a New Birth, it comes through and by our Savior
We can receive it through repentance, and then become a new creature
Being washed by the Blood of Jesus, living a changed life through regeneration.

You see I've been changed and now live for Jesus
My darkness has turned to light
The Holy Spirit leads me and guides me, the word of God helps me lead a holy life
To me theres no other way to live, except by my faith I have in Him
You see this life I live is full of troubles and pain
I'll lose earth, but Heaven I'll gain.

I will bless thee while I live, I will lift up my hands in His name
Praising God for all He has done for me, and my heart will feel no shame
For I am proud to be a Christian, I'll hold my head up high and proclaim
That Jesus died for you and me, Oh Praise His Holy name.
