Have you ever...

Have you ever sat by the ocean's front...
On a warm summer's evening...
By a campfire and watched...
Watched the sun as it sinks...
Sinks farther out of sight
Making itself almost seem
A part of the land...
It's so beautiful!!
Just look...
Look at the sky
Isn't it beautiful?
The redness of it...
It looks as if the whole universe
Is one g-r-e-a-t b-i-g flame...
A big fire!
Look at the ocean
The reflection the sun has on it
It's such a beautiful sight!
Let's wait...
Wait until the moon is up
And all the stars are out.
There...
The moon is coming...
Coming up over the mountain.
The water is so calm
And the lights...
The lights from the town across the harbour
Are shining...
Shining across the harbour
And in the midst of these lights
Is a reflection...
The reflection of the moon shining...
Shining right over this vast body of water
Making itself a part of the land.
Look...
The stars are all out.

Every time I look...
Look into the heavens
I marvel at this great sight
I just sit and look
It is just so beautiful
Our minds can not comprehend it...
And yet...
Yet there are those who can look...
Look at this wonder
And say that
"There is no God".
How can they say it
When there is so much beauty?
If there is no God
Then where did this beauty come from?
