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]
