The heavens declare the glory of God
We gaze, like David did, utterly awed
Worship beholds as an artist unfolds
Purple and fuchsia, coral, pinks and golds
Filling the canvas of west unto east
With a magnificent, free-for-all feast
The heavens declare the glory of He
Who wrought the universe with ‘let there be’
Love pours the pigment of sunrise and set
Before we, who all too quickly forget
Thus, over and over He fills up his tray
And pours out His glory in gorgeous array
The heavens declare to man's common ground
He who by nothing and no one is bound
He drapes the sky with but the Outer Fringe
Of Who suspends earth on time's sacred hinge
Pitiful soul who dares to affront He
Who fills the heavens with His majesty
The heavens declare, what none can deny
The incomprehensible ways of His eye
Oh, what a showcase of His Evidence
We gaze amazed, from our perches of sod
As heavens declare the glory of God

Psalm 19:1-6
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
3They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.
5It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
6It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is deprived of its warmth.
