It's A Beautiful World

I really like this song by Dierks Bentley and Patty Griffin. We live in broken world and we have broken lives. When the LORD finished his six days of creation, He said, not only "good", but "very good". It was just the way He wanted it. When Adam disobeyed God, this "very good" is part of what he was rejecting.

So, the entrance of sin as left us and our world marred. But it's still beautiful world to the humble and we still have the image of God and if we will let him remake us in Christ, there are sunsets to enjoy, sweethearts to kiss and friendships to enjoy.

Even though life is filled with trouble, Cindy loved life and everyone who knew her knew that. She had every confidence about what lay ahead of her as she closed her eyes the last time, but like the song lyrics, she would have loved to enjoy another sunset, a kiss from her "baby" and smiles from friends. Love life and look forward to the future.

Here's the song lyrics I like so much. You can see the video on YouTube here:

All the noise and the voices are screamin'
What they have to say
And the headlines and sound bytes are givin' me
Demons to hate
And the man on TV
He tells me it's ugly
But if you ask me

It's a beautiful world
It's a beautiful world

There's tears and there's fears and there's losses and crosses to bear
And sometimes the best we can do is just to whisper a prayer
And press on because
There's so much to live for and so much to love

In this beautiful world
Say what you will but I still believe
It's a beautiful world
It's a beautiful world

And I know (I know)
I'm not dreamin'
I just choose (choose) to believe it

So I hate that I sometimes miss what's right in front of my eyes, oh
And I know at the end of my road I'll be wantin' more time
Just another sunset
One more kiss from my baby
A smile from a friend

In this beautiful world
It's a beautiful world
Yeah, it's a beautiful world

Say what you will, but I still believe
It's a beautiful world
Yeah, it's a beautiful world
Oh, it's a beautiful world
