Praise The Works Of The Lord

Announcing that the universe is His
the early Spring day begins with a
warming sun, lifting fog, singing robin

Beneath the brown leaves from Autumn
rise blues and yellows and greens
everywhere, all fresh, unexpected

Coursing through every limb
is the life flow of each new bud
once again, as before, all things new

Driving over the river's bridge
we see deep and swollen waters
powerful, relentless, and very muddy

Every drop is on a journey
finding their charted course
from creeks, to rivers, to bulging great lakes

Flashing strobes and pounding kettles
entertained us just last night
prelude, main show, the extended curtain call

Great is the One who makes all things new
who designs each and every fiber
He is awesome, creative, always loving

His plans are perfect and full of grace
each thing has its own season
sure footed, far sighted, ever trustworthy

Innocent are those who fear the Lord
who put their trust in the Grand Designer
forgiven, reborn, constantly renewed

Jealous are those who worship chance
blind to the ebb and flow of life
they are absorbed, self centered, aging

Knowing that the flesh is weak
subject to decay and death, He breathed in
spirit, life, eternity

Loving all that He designed
picking sizes shapes and colors
we are special, unique, proclaiming

Morning sun peeks through low fogs
as we pass the fields and forests
all is quiet, expecting, revealing

New sights wave with each rise and curve
onward on our journey
circling hawks, grazing horses, fighting birds

Open heavens in powder blue
faint moon in white descending
another day, refreshed, I think I'm ready

Powerful is the force that binds things together
every part with a specific plan
all related, dependent, intriguing

Quiet is the voice of the ready skeptic
next to the roar of the waterfall's edge
your logic is silly, fleeting, so small

Renewed is the banner
I see on this morning
Revived! Recharged! Rejoice!

Strong is the Lord
who puts things together
Sturdy! Steadfast! Stupendous!

Triumphant is the march
that drums out before us
Tireless! Timeless! Tremendous!

Unique is our God
who made all of creation
Unbending! Unyielding! Unmatched!

Virtuous are those
who bloom where they're planted
they have faith, and hope, and love

Whenever I see the sureness of life
its steady course and flow
amazed am I to be, to share, to know

X marks the spot where we must stand
proclaiming what we've seen is true
to family, friends, and you

You are the one He loves the most
more than the birds and sky
our question is, just for me, and why

Zillions have asked if He has a plan
where do I fit, will He see me through
creation answers, yes He does, it's true
