(From Psalm 8)

As I sit in my rocking chair and enjoy
the night sounds of tree frogs and whippoorwills,
I am reminded of how complex, how intricate
Your creation entails.

     O Lord, our Lord,
     how majestic
     is Your name
     in all the earth!

As I look up into the mountains, the lofty ridges,
every tree, every plant and creature,
I am in awe of Your plan in nature.

     O Lord, our Lord,
     how majestic
     is Your name
     in all the earth!

As I hold a child, and look onto her thumbprint,
and realize that no two are alike,
I can’t fathom the reaches of Your design.    

     O Lord, our Lord,
     how majestic
     is Your name
     in all the earth!

As I read in the Sacred Scriptures, how You sent
Your Son into the world to save us from our sins,
I have trouble understanding the depth of Your love.

     O Lord, our Lord,
     how majestic
     is Your name
     in all the earth!
