Sunset

When I consider the work of Thy hands,The sun, moon and stars above,
What is man that Thou thinkest of him
Who is so unworthy of Thy love?

O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Thy name.
Mountains, valleys, all creation tells Thy fame.
Heavens declare it; all Thy wondrous works proclaim:
O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Thy name.

Heavens are telling the glory of God;
Each tree points to Christ on high.
Why would God, the creator of all
Take the form of lowly flesh to die?

O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Thy name.
Mountains, valleys, all creation tells Thy fame.
Heavens declare it; all Thy wondrous works proclaim:
O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Thy name.

Jesus, Creator and Ruler of all
Left heaven to die for me.
Came to earth, laid aside heaven's throne
In exchange for death on Calvary.

O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Thy name.
Mountains, valleys, all creation tells Thy fame.
Heavens declare it; all Thy wondrous works proclaim:
O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Thy name.

This past week saw the girls

and I headed up to Darwin

for a night to do some shopping

and run some errands.

I was able to take the girls to Lee Point

to watch the sunset.

I was almost 40 by the time I was able

to watch the sun set over

the ocean because of living on the East Coast.

Our first time was over in Western Australia,

but now, it's just up the road.

So, camera in hand,

we spent a couple hours enjoying one

of Chloe's favourite places. The beach.

There's just something mesmerizing about

watching the colours change over the ocean

and listening to the sounds of the waves coming in.

The sun drops so fast that you

can watch it moving down

toward the horizon and disappear.

Of course, I wanted to take some silhouettes,

but I had a struggle getting the girls to co operate.

Although, they did better than usual knowing that

in the photos you wouldn't really

be able to see their faces.

Going, going, going, gone.

I've put together a 1 minute video

of the sunset for you, just in case

you live on the East Coast or in

the middle of the outback, and really

want to experience the sights and sounds.

What an amazing God and Creator

that day after day, can cause us to marvel

at His beautiful creation,

just by the going down

of the sun.

Psalm 113:3

From the rising of the sun unto the going

down of the same the LORD'S name is to be praised.
