New Creation
The dance of life spins in ocean
fruitful abundance is life’s devotion
the cosmos and earth created for home
prodigious with creatures do it roam
My eyes are filled with such delight
and hearing the bellows of seals at night
forward I look to walking the shore
knowing the pleasures you’ll show me more
enchanting are the birds who soar the sky
winged creations who hover and fly
tremble do I before knowledge of you
aware that earth’s groaning for something new
Cherish I do the things you have made
may my appreciation for them never fade
life on planet in fathomless parade
innumerous bounty upon us cascade
Published you have within your Word
seeing and hearing habitation has stirred
all that exists in depthless replete
extols the praises where knowledge does seat
You who sits on the circle of the earth
rings in the galaxy in formations birth
you gave our habitation all it’s girth
how small oh Jah is our voices worth
Your truth oh Jah do I adore
from starry cosmos to the oceans floor
fiery lakes that dwell in earth
whose movements give our mountains birth
Insight to truth you’ve richly given
by Jesus word priestly teaching riven
with forgiveness my sins have you buried
and the burdens with them carried
My soul does thirst for you oh Jah
like parched desert without your law
our Lord has taught us how to love
what he taught from throne above
Rings round planets have you hung
whose revolutions does orbit sun
you have demonstrated in every case
reasons why we need to seek your face
You are the answerer of prayer
with insight mankind do you share
those of humble nature will keep his place
when your judgment takes his case
On your footstool here below
your servants do your praises know
from Orion’s belt to the milky way
the circuits of cosmos remain and stay
The migrations creatures of earth and sky
upon their courses travel and fly
all creation follows determined path
at mankind’s foolishness do you laugh
Though having been cast out of garden
your servants know your loving pardon
reward you will persons of faith
whose hope and love you in them place
The meek and faithful will escape your curse
Jesus purchased them with your own purse
with kindness do your children nurse
the choice to freedom do not coerce
To the children of faith does God call
to release them all from the fall
into the glorious freedom of the Sons of God
to walk the courses that Jesus trod
How wondrous is your height and depth
the one who has given life and breath
exulted will they be in the congregation
as a new creation will take their station
Does not appear what we will be
and gifts you give in eternity
they will serve before your face
having received in lovingkindness grace
