Craggy rocks, clothed in mossy green have the patina of the eons
Eagles soar, riding the unseen thermals rising effortlessly amidst the brightness
Lakes and rivers, the sunlight upon them brilliant like diamonds by the millions
Lord you created it all, every atom, every particle with just the sound of your voice
Yet it is for us, when we turn and run to you that billions of angels rejoice.
I see all you have formed, from imposing summits to tiny grains of sand
Trees of every kind; towering and verdant, stunted and twisted
Ferns so dense, algae and lichen; all by You so precisely planned
Every seed, fruit and exquisite flower to us You gifted
But Lord Your adoration is not focused on those magnificent things
Rather it is we, Your often wayward children who hold Your heart-strings
The awe, the wonder I feel as I contemplate all that You've designed
Words cannot adequately describe, more often it is tears that speak volumes
Nevertheless I marvel, with a lump in my throat, speechless I am resigned
To silent reverie; astonishment and joy in my heart singing tunes
Oh that You love me, that You want me to be Yours alone
In Your affection and tenderness my heart has found it's home
Abba, Father, Brother, Friend, Comforter, my soul's resting place
Words fall woefully short of expressing my gratitude, my elation and delight
Just the thought of You and Your unending bountiful mercy and grace
They leave me speechless, as I try to speak, my words they take flight
Puzzlement, relief, wonderment and bliss, every part of me in a jumble
But Your love centers me, even as my lips stutter and stumble
I, like those mountains reach to the heavens, worshiping my Maker
For I am not clothed in earthly garb, but wearing a robe of royalty
My heart soars, rising on the current of Your love because You said, "I'll take her"
To You I am more valuable than gems, I am Your jewel and to You I give my loyalty
You created every mountain, tree, river and stream and then You created just one me
I pray that all I do and all I say would forever for Your glory alone be
