In Humble Praise

All creatures of the earth God made
to Him they praise from day to day
lowly ones and higher, too
regard the One who ever views. 

From sweeping pass of eagle’s wings
to praying mantis worshiping 
a humble insect of low estate
who bows upon its leaf to pray. 

Spring’s sparrows chirp uplifting songs
their babies hatch and sing along
sweet nature’s hymns to God above
a testimony of His unending love.
