Splendor

The sky is His billboard and His Creation is so far beyond grand
Rocks and stones know He is Lord the sun obeys His command
The moon beckons His every Word the grasses rise up in praise
The sparrow, yes she too has heard and every single one obeys

The lilies sing His Name aloud as those rabbits they so love to run
The donkey oh as he is the wise one carrying Joseph, Mary and Son
Or how bout that zebra's style the Lord making him of such a beauty
How could you still be in denial aside from the point He made you free

Those ants down in your basement He knows of every single movement
How and where every star has went and the few in passing He has sent
To the roosters morning crow as for the second time Peter would betray
The story you might know, the Shepherd and His sheep made their way

He laid down the entire foundation in setting even the very cornerstone
Stumbling below Him is every nation, if only any of them had known
But the rest of His creation knows in the reflection of such splendor
Just as with many people it also shows for they too could never ignore 

Job 12:7-9
7 “But ask the animals, and they will teach you,
    or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you;
8 or speak to the earth, and it will teach you,
    or let the fish in the sea inform you.
9 Which of all these does not know
    that the hand of the Lord has done this?
