The Great Proclamation
God of wonders, great mysteries, how you long to reveal
yourself. Only a little at a time. Too much to take in all
at once, lest your humble servant be overwhelmed
You stand firm in creation...“The trees are mine...the sky
is mine ...the universe is mine. You can’t take that away
from me” you say. And I...am yours
All earth recognizes you...even the agnostic must
speak your name to say “I don’t believe”.
Oceans proclaim you...the atom screams out your
name with microscopic clarity.
How hard it must be to not believe when your breath
is all around.
The earth shivers and quakes under the stress of
unbelief...but I Lord stand tall in the warmth of your
tender mercies...grant me understanding of all else.
