Incomprehensible

Thunder and splendor and Majesty reign

Canvas of morning, evening and midnight

Eons of wonder man cannot explain

Born of the Spirit in ‘Let there be Light’

Our knowledge babbles beneath heaven’s sky

Vainly we reach with ineptness of thought

No telescope can begin to descry

The fathoms surrounding earth’s little blue dot

Logic of science must humbly agree

Greater is He that has breathed into space

The glorious grandeur of infinity

Stunning the geniuses of human race

Straining to exceed comprehension’s gasp

Of mysteries unfathomed in depths beyond grasp

Surely the wonder of He who commands

These stars compels us our boasts to resign

For who among us fully understands

Immaculate wisdom or its grand design

We ponder from our footstools of sod

The purposes of I AM’s rendering

Yet we cannot tell the intentions of God

Only that He loves us above anything

And from those vast heavens He speaks and we hear

No one can dissuade the wind and the rain

Or ignore the sun as it gleams in its sphere

From lowered regions of celestial main

We know that we are not in control

But feed on His mercy for body and soul

What is mortal man that ever we dare

To argue with He who holds planets in space?

Or what is a man that God should so care

Sending His Son to save us by His grace?

We bluster and threaten and weep ‘neath His will

But our Living Hope does not waver or wane

New every morning, like dew on the hill

Is Love’s kind compassion we cannot explain

This Builder of universe tenderly pleads

He calls us by name from within and above

We know our wants but He knows our needs

Earnestly He desires our love

Thunder and splendor and Majesty reign

See! the sun rises then it sets again
