Beautiful things (definitely some acoustic G., a touch of classical flavour. Make it beautiful.)
(Lots of finger picking or whatever you call it)
(um, I think I've messed up the poetic engineering of it... but are you allowed to do what I've done??? Does a poetic licence allow it? (that's if you notice it, if you don't, then don't worry))

 
[chorus]
Quiet times
Beautiful moments
Pretty things
Quiet time with the Lord
 
[v1]
(8) The sunset in the evening (afternoon?)
(7) Lovely native birds that sing
(8) These things just make my praises ring
(7) To my Maker and my King
 
[chorus]
 
[v2]
(8)The rugged coastal precipice
(7)Shows my saviours steadfastness.
(8)The harsh yet fragile wilderness (delicate desert)
(7)reveal's God's resourcefulness {balance} {How's this?????}
 
[Ben's workbench - the next few lines are just my notes.]
The majestic wooded hills
...blue sky
... delicate desert
Sea
cliffs

(7)He offers all salvation.

[v3b]
(8)
(7)
(8)The wondrous things my Lord has made
(7)Prove to me His love for us.
 
[bridge - put this wherever]
Beautiful moments to think on the Lord.
(He offers us salvation) (Times for meditation) To think on all he's done for us
Makes me want to praise my Lord,
(For this and his creation) as he is just wondrous/ In his glory he's wondrous
