I saw beauty this morning...
In the petals of a rose...
Encased in shimmering drops of dew
As only heaven knows.

I saw peace this morning...
As I looked up to the sky,
To see a beautiful robin
Wing his way on high.

I saw faith this morning...
In the eyes of a loved one dear,
Felt the touch of the Master's Hand,
And knew that He was near.

I saw joy this morning...
In the eyes of a passer-by,
Content to walk on in the rain
That was falling from the sky.

I saw hope this morning...
As I listened to the song,
Of two happy youngsters,
As they walked along.

As I looked and as I listened...
I knew a peace of mind.
Because God made me quite aware
Of the beauty I COULD find.

A quiet moment now and then
Is well worth looking for...
Especially in this busy world
When we hurry more and more.

We rush off here, we dash off there,
We're always in a hurry...
If anything happens to get in our way,
Then..we begin to worry.

We've GOT to get Johnny there by four,
Or surely he'll be late...
We rush around and are ready by three,
We hurry up..and wait.

We hurry and wait many times through the day,
It hardly seems a bit fair...
When we think of the many times through the day
We could have had quiet moments of prayer.

The next time you think you must hurry,
And get a job done only half way...
Take time for a quiet moment or two...
And you'll find He has brightened your day!
