Nature's Majesty

I took some scenic back-roads to run errands today...

 Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders which You have done,
And Your thoughts toward us;
There is none to compare with You.
If I would declare and speak of them,
They would be too numerous to count.

Ps.40:5

The wonder of creation stuns with grand simplicity

Its plunder splays beneath the sun for everyone to see

And often when the heart, downcast, would drown in browns and grays

Creation with its colorcast replenishes our praise

Each season pours its Beauty from a univocal flask

Where every Reason does not always answer what we ask

Our whys and wherefores often hushed by Nature’s Majesty

Soft, soft, moon-silver brushes autumn’s ornamental tree

The hand of Time makes hearts more sentimental, so it seems

As we begin to rearrange our antiquated dreams

Because we sense how nonresistant our footwork plays

To that white mime of tick and tock outnumbering our days

And all that never really changes is the Word of God

It spoke to being everything that we with awe applaud

For all that we are able is possible but by He

Who turns the dial that turns this While into eternity

The wonder of creation stuns with grand simplicity

Its plunder splays beneath the sun for everyone to see

And often when we are downcast in both spirit and gaze

The Word that stirred the darkness stirs the heart to sing His praise

 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Gen.1:1

He said, 'let there be' and He saw that it was good. Gen. 1:3-31

Every so often I need to crank up this song til the house vibrates;-)

I like this version as well
