Butterflies
Today I saw two butterflies
Floating through the air
When I beheld their beauty
I knew God made this pair
Such tiny little bodies
Holding up their wings
Only God Almighty
Could make such precious things
Yes, it was God who made them both
God who set them free
He did the same with all mankind
Including you and me
Butterflies don't have a choice
No path that they must choose
They just fulfill the Lord's intent
They cannot win or lose
Life for us is different
It isn't quite the same
For we can turn our backs on God
To play the devil's game
But if we choose the devil's path
The cost is much too high
For Satan will destroy our lives
Then laugh the day we die
I am one who's made my choice
I shall not play the game
I will serve the Lord each day
To glorify His name
Since the day I made that choice
I've seen life differently
For now I see the things of God
The things He's done for me
He's given me the breath of life
Put sight into my eyes
And when He wants to see my smile
He shows me butterflies
