A Sonnet of Wonderment/Confoundment

Jer.32:17

‘Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth

by Your great power and outstretched arm.

There is nothing too hard for You.

Time cannot shift the Hand that tunes the tide

That manifests God’s ancient covenant

That ebbs and flows across the countryside

To author amaranthine wonderment

Where we could shout until no voice is left

The height and breadth of beauty to descry

Only to concede mortal is bereft

Of words to adequately gratify

…the thirst that bursts into a hymn of praise

Too grand for script of syllable and rhyme

To God, who never ceases to amaze

Unphased, He proves the changeless ways of Time

And rouses from Confoundment's inept mold 

Agape stutters of 'Ah, Lord God, behold.'

Gen.8:22

“While the earth remains, 

Seedtime and harvest, 

Cold and heat, 

Winter and summer,

 And day and night 

Shall not cease.”

Psalm 40:5
Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done,

 and the plans You have for us--

none can compare to You--

if I proclaim and declare them, 

they are more than I can count.

Psalm 111:2

Great are the works of the LORD;

 they are pondered by all who delight in them.

Psalm 92:5
How great are Your works, O LORD, 

how deep are Your thoughts!
