I Stand In Awe

Lord, I stand in awe of earth’s creation With valleys so deep and mountains so high I see tapestries of green and fish floating in streams And, birds flying high in pretty blue skies I wonder at how geese flock in V-like formation Following the same destination year after year Returning in spring to the same location I marvel at how bears hibernate in winter Not eating any berries or fawn They come out in springtime fatter than ever before Then eating everything in sight from dusk til’ dawn I meditate on your Holy word At how creatures came to Noah’s ark two by two From birds to bears all in pairs Safe from flood as if Noah told them to I feel your presence in earth’s creation A splendid array of differing elements All assembled for your adoration Despite man’s pollution and destitution Earth remains your greatest creation
