Picture Of God

Picture Of God
Lyrics by Mindy Jostyn and Jacob Brackman
Music by Mindy Jostyn

If the world were a picture of God
What would the picture show?
His numberless colors and features and forms
Blessing us more than we know

The mountains portray His towering strength
The sun, His comfort and light
The stars blaze with His permanence
Guiding the sailor at night

If the world were a picture of God
What would the picture show?
The countless designs of His infinite Mind
Blessing us more than we know

The sea announces His majesty
Breezes whisper His tenderest care
Wheat fields sway with His delicate grace
The forest is fragrant and fair

What if our wondrous world were a screen?
Only a trace of a world unseen
Only a hint of our Father revealed
Dazzling beauty, compassionate, real

The animals echo His endless ideas
Each one different and right
The dawn so refreshing, the sunset so calm
The mysterious circle of night

If the world were a picture of God
What would the picture show?
His consummate plan, His masterly hand
Blessing us more than we know
