Here In The Midst Of Summer

Here in the midst of summer
surrounded by the lakeland feels
what glory to look out upon
makes one cry out to tell

There's a stillness in the air
so silent, one can hardly hear
the sun shines through the clouds
warms the air, listen in your ear

Often you feel like wandering
taking in all that's freshly new
this is a beautiful creation, you see
divinely born, you see right on cue

This is indeed a wonder of wonders
one has to be still to take it in
on the first day, when Adam fell
what God had made is marred by sin

Pray to be taken to that original
that first moment so real in time
when all was just perfectly sublime
dream on and feel it in its prime

(Just some thoughts spending in the English Lake District a few weeks ago.)
