Captivated

I came across this song by Shawn McDonald the other day. In listening to it I notice how the artist sings about being captivated by all God has created. He is able to really perceive bits of the nature of God in nature itself.  It makes me think of how on my way to work I am often able to catch a glimpse of the glory of God. Right at the stoplight by my apartment I come face to face with the horizon, on top of a mountain ridge, just passed an airfield. Depending on the weather, I am blessed to see a beautiful sunrise of various shades of reds and blues painting an assortment of cloud formations. It is absolutely stunning and reminds me daily that my Lord is always with me. Naturally, I love the opportunity to sing to my Lord; to glorify His name more. 



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

'Cause 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

'Cause I am, I'm captivated by You
In all that You do
I am, I'm captivated
