      A Collection of Peace - Helen Steiner Rice

      Giving

      WHO GOD IS

      His Likeness Shines Forth

      In everything both great and small

      We see the hand of God in all,

      And every day, somewhere, someplace,

      We see the likeness of His face.

      For who can watch a new day’s birth

      Or touch the warm, life-giving earth

      Or feel the softness of a breeze

      Or look at skies through lacy trees

      And say they’ve never seen His face

      Or looked upon His throne of grace.

      And man’s search for God will end and begin

      When he opens his heart to let Christ in.

      Reflections of God’s Face

      The silent stars in timeless skies,

      The wonderment in children’s eyes,

      The autumn haze, the breath of spring,

      The chirping song the crickets sing,

      A rosebud in a slender vase

      Are all reflections of God’s face.

      The Earth Is the Lord’s

      The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof—

      It speaks of His greatness and it sings of His love.

      Through all of creation with symphonic splendor,

      God speaks with a voice that is gentle and tender.

      And the birds in the trees and the flowers of spring

      All join in proclaiming this heavenly King.

      Everywhere across the Land You See God’s Face and Touch His Hand

      Each time you look up in the sky,

      Or watch the fluffy clouds drift by,

      Or feel the sunshine, warm and bright,

      Or watch the dark night turn to light,

      Or hear a bluebird brightly sing,

      Or see the winter turn to spring,

      Or stop to pick a daffodil,

      Or gather violets on some hill,

      Or touch a leaf or see a tree,

      It’s all God whispering, "This is Me …

      And I am faith and I am light

      And in Me there shall be no night."

      My God Is No Stranger

      I’ve never seen God, but I know how I feel;

      It’s people like you who make Him so real.

      My God is no stranger—He’s so friendly each day,

      And He doesn’t ask me to weep when I pray.

      It seems that I pass Him so often each day

      In the faces of people I meet on my way.

      He’s the stars in the heavens, a smile on some face,

      A leaf on a tree or a rose in a vase.

      He’s winter and autumn and summer and spring

      In short, God is every real, wonderful thing.

      I wish I might meet Him much more than I do;

      I wish there were more people like you.

      The Masterpiece

      Framed by the vast, unlimited sky,

      Bordered by mighty waters,

      Sheltered by beautiful woodland groves,

      Scented with flowers that bloom and die,

      Protected by giant mountain peaks—

      The land of the great unknown—

      Snowcapped and towering, a nameless place

      That beckons man on as the gold he seeks,

      Bubbling with life and earthly joys,

      Reeking with pain and mortal strife,

      Dotted with wealth and material gains,

      Built on ideals of girls and boys,

      Streaked with toil, opportunity’s banner unfurled

      Stands out the masterpiece of art

      Painted by the one great God,

      A picture of the world.

      The Heavens Declare the Glory of God

      You ask me how I know it’s true that there is a living God.

      A God who rules the universe—the sky, the sea, the sod—

      A God who holds all creatures in the hollow of His hand,

      A God who put infinity in one tiny grain of sand,

      A God who made the seasons—

      winter, summer, fall, and spring—

      And put His flawless rhythm into each created thing,

      A God who hangs the sun out slowly

      with the break of day

      And gently takes the stars in and puts the night away,

      A God whose mighty handiwork defies the skill of man,

      For no architect can alter God’s perfect master plan.

      What
