about

A song I wrote inspired by the marvellous and detailed design in all of life, from the smallest parts of nature to being aware of the 5 senses we use to observe the physical world around us (woven into the lyrics) as well as our emotional & spiritual parts.

It's more than just design.
It's the miracle of creation.

This is one of 10 songs from the 'Genesis Music Project' CD.

lyrics

A sleepy Monday morning
Sunshine on my bed
Slowly I start waking
The first thing that I said
It has to be
Creation by design

I look outside my window
Clouds passing by
A blue and white tapestry
That race across the sky
I have to say
A beautiful design

Oh what do I see
A beautiful world all around me
Engineering to its core
It speaks of something more

The welcome smell of coffee
Drifting through the air
Beckons me to start the day
And push aside my cares
Aroma therapy
Pleasantly designed

A bowl of fruit for breakfast
A rainbow I can eat
Colours bright and beautiful
Wholesome and sweet
Thankfully
Tasty by design

Oh what do I see
A beautiful world all around me
Engineering to its core
It speaks of something more

Laughing, dancing, celebrating
Sing your songs of joy
Making memories
Missing family
Leaving a legacy
It’s more than just design

Oh what do I see
A beautiful world all around me
Engineering to its core
It speaks of something more
