Awe and Wonder
When I look around the world at all that God created
My need to praise my Maker can surely not be sated.
I’ve seen the Rocky Mountains capped with ice and snow
And been inside the forests where the mighty redwoods grow.
I’ve visited New England in it’s autumnal glory
And listened to Niagra narrate its thunderous story.
I’ve watched the jagged lightning flash around a sandy bay
And seen upon an ocean the impish dolphins play.
I’ve seen majestic geysers burst into the sky
And felt the frightening tremors of an earthquake passing by.
I’ve watched the crashing breakers beat upon a shore
And heard the wondrous stories of the babe that Mary bore.
I have seen the miracle when God creates new life
With tears cascading from my eyes as I hugged my wife.
I’ve basked in glorious sunshine and sheltered from a storm
And frozen in the winter, unable to keep warm.
I’ve gazed into the vastness of a star filled velvet sky
And could not help but ponder on the reason why?
Why did God do this for me? I’m sure it was no blunder.
That I and every other man be filled with awe and wonder!
