The Glory of God

The world paints a picture

before my eyes

Beauty indescribable

fills my senses

as light and colour marry

In a lover’s touch

 

Creation comes to life before me

by the unseen hand of a loving sculptor

who moulds and shapes

each complex form of our existence into being

 

Mesmerized I stand in awe

of the glory that surrounds me

of this wondrous earth we call home

 

The impossibility of each intricate detail of life

being formed in such perfection thrills me

From within a single blade of grass

to the miracle of the flesh and blood body in which I live

I see the loving hand of a mysterious creator

Of one with such power and might

that even the oceans obey His command

even the rain falls at His Word

 

His voice is thunder

His countenance brighter than the sun

the universe is His playground

the stars proclaim the Glory of His Name

 

In every minute element of nature

I see the wonder of God

I feel His power

I sense the great love and mercy

He has for us all

 

In every moment

every breath of life

every intimate kiss

of light and colour

as they weave their glorious arrays

across the face of the earth

I see the Glory of God revealed

I know that the wonders if nature proved the divinity of Gor for poets like Anne Bradstreet. This is a great celebration of the divine creator and his presence in the world. The first stanza is my favorite. Although, I like the stanza where you describe the qualities of god.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thank you so much :)

...Beautiful, the first and last verse compliment each other with perfection...and the middle verses, a deep love for our Lord...heartfelt, descriptive, loving...only in the spirit can one see Gods beauty and come to appreciate life. Well done.:)
