Love Song to the Creator

Psalm 68:19

Blessed be the Lord,

Who daily loads us with benefits,

The God of our salvation! Selah

I love the Author of the rose

Of budded fount that overflows

With finest petal filigree

Of delicate, detailed design

Where masterpieces, great and small

Spill in copious free-for-all

Like volumes full of poetry

Where God penned every perfect line

The sweet and juicy happiness

Of strawberry delicious-yes...

I love the beauty of the earth

And sky; how beholding gives birth

To gladness for the thoughts and ways

Of He, no mind can comprehend...

I love the glory God reveals

Where creation’s cupola peals

In reply to finch, lark and wren

(or robin)

In rolling vistas that amaze...

In gardens as they showcase He

Who instills seed with majesty...

I love the joy that God bestows

Through art only He can compose

The thundercloud, tree silhouette

The innocence of pup and child

The sweet and juicy happiness

Of strawberry delicious-yes

The grandeur of sunrise and set

To run wonder’s awed worship wild

I love the glory God reveals

Where creation’s cupola peals

In reply to finch, lark and wren

In rolling vistas that amaze

In gardens as they showcase He

Who instills seed with majesty

And beckons poets, once again

To spill a humble hymn of praise

I love the Author of the rose

Of budded fount that overflows

With finest petal filigree

Of delicate, detailed design

Where masterpieces, great and small

Spill in copious free-for-all

Like volumes full of poetry

Where God penned every perfect line

I love the beauty of the earth

And sky; how beholding gives birth

To gladness for the thoughts and ways

Of He, no mind can comprehend

Of Providence that never wanes

Of love unfathomed, that sustains

Goodness and mercy all our days

Hope’s anchor, faithful to the end

I love the beauty of the earth

And sky; 

...how beholding gives birth

To gladness for the thoughts and ways

Of He, no mind can comprehend...

1 Cor.1:26-31

Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called.

 Not many of you were wise by human standards;

 not many were influential;

not many were of noble birth. 

27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; 

God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 

28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—

and the things that are not—

to nullify the things that are, 

29 so that no one may boast before him. 

30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, 

who has become for us wisdom from God—

that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 

31 Therefore, as it is written: 

“Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”[d]
