A Day of Beauty

This morning was one of those odd days. I woke up when my alarm went off and had no problem getting up. I worked out a little and then got ready for work. I was early. I went to Starbucks and my drink was absolutely perfect. I put on my sunglasses (even though there was no sun) and then I noticed how “odd” a day it was.

Without my sunglasses, the sky looked cloudy and gray. With my sunglasses, I noticed that it wasn’t cloudy – it was foggy. And there was a very blue sky behind the fog. In this blue sky was a very bright sun that had iridescent looking clouds in front of it – making it illuminate more than usual. And the clouds were moving oh so fast as if I was watching a movie where time is fast forward.

It was absolutely beautiful.

But then the real beauty came. My ipod switched to the song “Captivated” by Shawn McDonald. It put this morning’s picture into perfect words.

When I look into the mountains
I see Your fame
When I look into the night’s sky
It sparkles Your name

The wind and the clouds and the blue in the sky
The sun and the moon and the stars so high
That’s what draws me to You

I am, I’m captivated by You
In all that You do
I am, I’m captivated

When I wake unto the morning
It gives me Your sight
When I look across the ocean
It echoes Your might

The sand on the shore and the waves in the sea
The air in my lungs and the way You made me
That’s what draws me to You

I am, I’m captivated by You
In all that You do
I am, I’m captivated

The wind and the clouds and the blue in the sky
The sun and the moon and the stars so high
The sand on the shore and the waves in the sea
The air in my lungs and the way You made me

The blood in my veins and my heart You invade
The plants how they grow and the tree and their shade
The way that I feel and love in my soul
I thank you my God for letting me, letting me know

I am, I’m captivated by You
In all that You do
I am, I’m captivated
