“Sing to the LORD, for He has done wonderful things. Make known his praise around the world.” Isaiah 12:5
Oh Lord my God
In You I find my peace.
Though the world spins off its axis
You, my Lord, are still in control.
Heaven and earth
Reflect Your artistry–
Inky black nights
with stars that shine like diamonds
On a velvet sky.
And through the darkest night
The sun will rise to give us light.
The colors of earth–
Greens and browns
Flowers resplendent–vivid–
Reds and yellows, pinks and blues.
Who beside you knows
The myriad of colors
You’ve taught me to see.
Every ocean and waterway
Churns with life
In depths only You
Can see.
Waves roar out praise,
Yet whisper Your name.
Waterfalls, mighty in power,
Yet they sing to the Creator
Who made them.
Oh! Can you hear them sing?
I wonder, as I look around,
What heaven looks like
And how it sounds.
If all this beauty is in our fallen world.
What colors and textures
Will I see when I arrive above?
And if we on earth worship in spirit and song
How much more magnificent
Will the worship be
At the foot of Your throne?
God of mercy, grace, and bountiful love
You are my peace and joy,
The One I trust.
When You created the colors and sounds,
Speaking into existence
Heavens and earth,
The moon and stars …
While busy with that
You thought of me
And how Your Son would set me free.
“You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands.” Hebrews 1:10
