I'm told in the scriptures that we will know you by the works of your hand - by creation. So as I look around I ask -
Are you like
the mountains
beguiling my eye?
With silver-clad peaks piercing the sky?
Are you like
those mountains - untouchably high?
Are you like
the valleys
catching the snow
the keepers of water for life down
below?
Are you like
the valleys - with life giving flow?
Are you like
the river which grows in its quest
seaward and downward
from east and from west?
Are you like
the river - never at rest?
Are you like
the flower, the grass and the tree,
green growing
home for the bird and the bee?
Are you like
them all - a haven for me?
Oh God of the
mountain, the river and glade
Oh God of the
raindrops, the sunshine and shade
Oh God of the
flowers, the springtime and fall
Oh God of
creation - are you like them all?
Too high to
reach
Too deep to
feel
Too grand to
know if you are real.
But the
scripture says,
Romans 1:20 (NIV) “ For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.”
So I know and I believe.

So I know and I believe.
Now I know and I believe.
