My heart so full, tis sure to pop
My brain’s elated, I can’t stop
I view outside, what do I see
This image God has made for me.
There’s such rare beauty to be found
From azure sky with its surround
Like all the joy He’s gifted me
His heaven, earth, His world to see !
The earth is round and full of strife
From sea to sea it teems with life
It’s full of valleys, mountains high
Where giant peaks reach for the sky.
Trillions of acres garbed in green
Four hundred billion birds are seen
Where eighty billion souls may be
Before this life will set us free
A world of sound, eclectic light
An image of God’s Own insight !
Now I have trod ten thousand miles
Up hills and dales passed country stiles
I’ve climbed the steps to reach the sky
Both night and day as clouds rolled by.
I’ve dreamt the way that scholars do
Mindful of all that can be true
My heart and soul are caught in it
Somehow it all just seems to fit.
Let’s thank the Lord for His great gifts
As through our lives His beauty sifts !
I love You Lord, please take my hand
And lead me to the Promised Land
Show me the path to Latter Days
That I may follow in Your ways
Each child that listens soon will hear
God’s loving Message on his ear
Trust in the Lord, He will not fail
The world is His, each hill and vale
Like every thing the eye can see
Is made by Him for you and me !
AMEN.
I’m often amazed by facts I see
Of how our Lord helps both you and me
And thus He tends our world from up high
In heaven as He is passing by.
While the leaves do fall and dissipate
On ground beneath, there hover and wait
For rains to fall on assorted roots
Where the winds wake up the tender shoots.
Cycles of life going on and on
A method we all depend upon
Such glorious plans that He provides
Assuring all creation survives !
I see the rain now tumbling down
Like teardrops rushing to the ground
The Power it accompanies
Is Parent to all plants and trees.
How splendid is the light He brings
To all of this world’s living things
For even mountains rise with time
While valley levels will decline,
How wonderful it is to be
Creations of God’s Entity !
Oh wicked wind where have you been
What kind of trouble are you in
You’ve set your aim upon the waves
And sent great ships unto their graves.
You’ve damaged all the tallest sails
With wild velocity of gales
You’ve churned the sea into a broil
Unfit for gentleman or churl.
All islands are in fear of you
Because of ravages you do
The mountains cower under seige
Due to the damages you leave.
The sands of deserts crowd the air
Because your strength does tarry there
Where do you fit into God’s scheme
I do not know, I can but dream !
Have you wondered what clouds must see
While floating o’erhead lazily
And what about the mountain’s heighths
With all its smells and sound delights ?
Do you believe that clouds can tell
If all below are doing well
Or when to rain or sail away
Perhaps return another day ?
God’s world is huge and ever wide
What do you think He keeps inside,
Seems it’s a deep dark mystery
A puzzle for eternity ?
A child is but the whisper of
The troth between a man and maid
And proof of their eternal love
Created with God’s help and aid !
Our world is full of so many things
Like flightless birds and squirrels with wings
Plants that eat insects and fish that fly
All a gift from our God up on high.
A pattern of perfect He has planned
Covering oceans, skies and all land
Aren’t we lucky He’s so intense
And Master of all of life’s events !
Blessed is He
Lord of the land
King of the sea
Desert and sand,
Both field and sky
All fish that swim
Creatures that fly
Are made by Him
Those at His call
Four-legged or two
Wide, short or tall
Purposed for you !
I sure do wish that I were free
To dive into the deepest sea
And join the creatures biding there
To splash around with extra care.
I’d find myself surrounded by
Many sea creatures where they lie
All types of mollusk, clam and shell
What kind of stories do they tell ?
Like worms and eels and sponges too
Their skeletons are strange to view
While beds of coral by the mile,
Enchanted visions bring a smile.
So many fish, all species known
A varied catch with much unshown
Oh how I wish that I could be
Another mermaid in the sea.
What special plan was in God’s mind
As men of earth did treasure find
In His vast world, deep water hid
Great miracles that our God did !
From the crest of the Caucusus Mountains
To the edge of the cold Antarctica shore
From the great heighths that our space probe attains
To the wild depths of a dark ocean floor
There exists a world that’s all about us
Foreign to that which we have known before
With a sound like the voice of a chorus
Thanking God for earth’s vast features and more !
I can remember days long gone
When we had trails to hike upon
That wound through forests clad in green
Up wooded hillsides by a stream
Along the bend where moss rose grew,
Look up you’ll catch a patch of blue.
Hundreds of trees of every size
Parade before your very eyes
Oh such a sight it was to see
What I would give once more to be
Alive upon those mountainsides
Where bits of God’s true wealth resides !
If I were an angel above the world so high
I’d fly from cloud to cloud so I could learn to spy
And seek out all the secrets of the earth below
Searching rivers for their source watching how they flow.
To touch each mountain top where no one dares to live
See the ocean’s ebb and flow acting like a sieve,
Imagining what happens underneath the seas
Or hillsides by the millions lush with assorted trees.
God’s world is such perfection like a magic spell
All He does is perfect, this is His show and tell !
The lions dozing in their den
The deer now grazing in the glen
The sheep who feed on meadow grass
And goats who climb each mountain pass,
Those tame or wild, both great and small
They’re God’s creations one and all !
Forests or fields or highland fife,
Grasslands and hills that teem with life
Camels and lizards on desert sands
Coyotes and wolves in frozen lands,
Imagine what this world would be
Without God’s great diversity !
Welcome winds whisper sweet nothingness in my ear
While silent shards of sunlight pierce the shadows sphere
The morn has whisked away the demons of the night
And left untouched the eagerness of early light.
Thus begins anew the cycle which shall revive
Perhaps that character we all need to survive
Another day, another time, another place
Imagining the fragile dawn of human race.
