It Has All Been Built

Take a look around.
What do you see?
Don't forget to look up and down.
For you and for me -
It has all been built.

There are windows and doors.
Now, look at the chair or that bench.
A desk, a bed, or a chest of drawers.
You may even see a hammer or a wrench.
It has all been built.

Now, take a step back.

Do you see houses or stores?
What about roads and cars,
The restaurants and their allure,
Or the businesses never too sparse?
It has all been built.

Take a step back.

There are majestic mountains and trees,
Or maybe calming waves and sand.
A lake, river, or trickling streams.
Possibly the great wide-open land.
It has all been "built."

Take one more step back.

There's the earth and that sun beyond the moon.
Imagine the planets - Mercury, Venus and Mars.
Then Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Picture it, beyond these are trillions of stars.
It has all been "built."

Now, step back in.

You see your family and friends.
Maybe co-workers and neighbors.
A list of people that will only extend.
By our Father, the Builder, the Great Creator,
We have all been "built."

Now, once more take a look around.
With different eyes you see,
as you look left, right, up and down,
It's clear; for you and for me
This has all been built.
