Autumn Leaves Poem by Royston Allen

In their autumn splendour the trees display
proclaiming God' glory each passing day.
The Divine Artist paints every tree
so that we on earth His glory can see.

And when He has finished painting each one
He brings out their colour with the bright sun.
Then using the wind to dislodge each leaf
He forms a carpet on the ground beneath.

He's given us eyes so that we can see
His glory and majesty in each tree.
Like an artist using His creation
To show us the way of His salvation.

For as each leaf fell to the ground and died
So Christ gave up His life when crucified.
His crimson blood flowing like autumn leaves
cleansing all of those who His love receives.
