GREATEST OF THESE ...
When I consider Thy marvelous works
Thine own glorious creation:
Spheres, stars and sky stretch into space
Hills, mountains, reaching for Thy face
Oceans,stormy, blue and strong
In all Thy work, naught can be wrong.
Quarries, canyons steal my sight
Gleaming in Thy sun's own light
Reflecting gold in daffodils
Handmade towering rocks and rills
Meadows, fields, and woodlands tall
Fish and fowl. Thou'st made them all.
Thou; in nothingness, fixated
All these wonders, then man created
Glory of glories, lump of clay
Di dst Thou know he would be this way?
For all these things, I stand in awe
Yet, even these seem very small ---
When I consider Thy infinite love.
