A Psalm of Joy

We are invited  at 1-minute Bible Love Notes to write a psalm of joy to our Creator! 

Thank-you Benjy, for sharing a poem I wrote entitled Miracle on your blog today

Oh Lord, you broke the dark. Your light

Before all things, obeyed

Then, moon and stars to rule by night

And sun to rule by day

Oh Lord, you filled Void with your Word

Creating bird and flow’r

Our eyes have seen, our ears have heard

But glimpses of your Pow’r

You shake the firmaments with awe

With purple, red and gold

You drape the air where dusk and dawn

Are Someone to behold

Summer, winter, springtime and fall

Declare Your workmanship

Where earth is like a banquet hall

And man, the guest in it

Oh Lord, there is none greater, no

Father of everything

You stoke the seed from whence fruits flow

To succor Need’s wellspring

You spoke and broke Vast Nothingness

Drew miracles from dirt

Pledged Hope’s immortal Awesomeness

To mankind’s mortal hurt

Oh Lord, you took pity on us

Cursed with sin’s guilt and shame

And freely gave Your Son, Jesus

Salvation’s sacred Name

Oh Lord, You broke the dark. Your Light

Before all things, obeyed

Love paid sin’s debt with blood whereby

All sinners can be saved
