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.
