There is No One Like Him

I’ve never seen God face to face, held his hand or felt his tender embrace
Never seen him smile…but I know his joy…
I wasn’t there when he created the human race…
But he’s always been here, and I can trace…
All the marks he’s made on this earthly place…
Behold!!!
Beautiful sunsets over land and sea
God painted rainbows for you and for me
Shouted to the winds in colors of these
Blue, pink and purple skies,
Silvery moon, the stars, grass, flowers and trees…
Majestic mountains they humble me…
I know him for he lives inside of me, you see…
His spoken words materialized; and right before all the angel’s eyes…
God the Father, Jesus the Son, and Holy Spirit they were one…
Creating a world of glory and grace…
His smile is on each human face
His love is seen when we help one another
Holding our hand when we honor father and mother
And when a sweet melodious song is sung
Oh, how the music fills our lungs and peace is heard and felt all among
The ones who know his amazing song of grace…
No, you won’t see God’s glorious face…
But from the very beginning of time, Jesus was God’s greatest plan…
He was given flesh and bones; God became a man…
He walked the earth some 2000 years ago, and brother, sister, I want you to know
He’s still with us to this day…
He’s in the wind and in the fields…he’s at the work place and in homes and he plays
Among the little children all around the world, he stays…closer than a brother…
Open your heart, open your eyes…
See the rain coming down…hear the peaceful sound…
Squish the mud between your toes…
Smell the fresh cut grass and know…
There is a place where we can go…a supernatural place to grow…
Faith is the key that opens the door for more and more and more…
Of Jesus, Christ the LORD!
His is a face of love, strength, kindness, hope and faith…
His eyes are on fire for the love of you…
Man, woman, boy, girl…you won’t see him face to face…but you can know him…and be known by him…
Look… and see…he’s here, waiting for thee…
You’ll know him when you welcome him in…
Then,
You’ll know him face to face!

Isaiah 55:12-13 The Message (MSG) “So you’ll go out in joy, you’ll be led into a whole and complete life. The mountains and hills will lead the parade, bursting with song. All the trees of the forest will join the procession, exuberant with applause. No more thistles, but giant sequoias, no more thorn bushes, but stately pines— Monuments to me, to GOD, living and lasting evidence of GOD.”
