The Creator & His Creation

When the Swallow was young, she had many opportunities to be near the coasts of Malaysia.

In the day, she would get up before the sun rose, and make her way to the beach. She would listen to the waves hitting themselves against the sand. She would feel the gentle breeze on her face. She would watch the sun rise and show its face in the horizon. She would smell the salt in the air.

In the night, she would cast her eyes onto the night sky, and behold the glories of the heavens (when it was not cloudy!). She would try to count the stars. She would try to spot constellations known to her.

All in all, she would marvel at how the Lord God, who made the heavens and the earth, should choose to love her!

BECAUSE OF WHO YOU ARE by Bob Farrell & Billy Smiley

You spoke the words, and all the worlds came into order,
You waved Your hand, and planets filled celestial skies,
You placed the woman and the man inside the garden,
And though they fell, they found compassion in Your eyes,
O Lord, I stand in awe of the wonder of Your deeds,
Yet a greater wonder brings me to my knees...

Lord, I praise You because of who You are,
Not because of all the mighty things You've done,
Lord, I worship You because of who You are,
You're all the reason that I need to voice my praise,
Because of who You are.

One holy night You brought Your Promise from a virgin,
And Promise grew as He revealed to us Your heart,
Enduring love displayed throughout His crucifixion,
And in the dark You tore the grave and death apart,
O Lord, I stand in awe of the wonder of Your deeds,
Yet a greater wonder brings me to my knees...

Lord, I praise You because of who You are,
Not because of all the mighty things You've done,
Lord, I worship You because of who You are,
You're all the reason that I need to voice my praise,
Because of who You are.
