Outer Fringes

Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways;

how faint is the whisper we hear of Him!

 Job 26:14

Both sunset last night...

...and sunrise this morning

...were of exceptional caliber and colour!
Like an ethereal orchestra!

(it inspired a personal 'psalm' of sorts)

Psalm 19:1-6

The heavens declare the glory of God;

the skies proclaim the work of His hands.

Day after day they pour forth speech;

night after night they reveal knowledge.

Without speech or language,

without a sound to be heard,

their voice a has gone out into all the earth,

their words to the ends of the world.

In the heavens He has pitched a tent for the sun

like a bridegroom emerging from his chamber,

like a champion rejoicing to run his course.

It rises at one end of the heavens

and runs its circuit to the other;

nothing is deprived of its warmth. 

Master of Creation

Maestro of the sea

Author of salvation

For humanity

Dark and light are driven

Beneath Thy command

Artist of the heavens

Sculptor of the land

Comforter of sorrow

Keeper of Time’s toll

Father to the sparrow

And man’s deathless soul

Hope in doubt’s confusion

Shepherd to the flock

Peace amidst the doom in

Human-natured talk

Both Taker and Giver

Goodness, mercy, love

Guides the rippling river

To the ocean’s trove

Ruler of each season

There is none like Thee

Who else defies reason

Without Reason’s plea

Who else grants seed’s ration

Or saves us by grace

Taking kind compassion

On this human race

Who Thy might can fathom

None else can compare

Invisible awesome

Lamplighter of air

in the assembly of the holy ones.

For who in the skies can compare with the LORD?

Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD?

In the council of the holy ones, God is greatly feared,

and awesome above all who surround Him.

O LORD God of Hosts, who is like You?

O mighty LORD, Your faithfulness surrounds You.
