Harmony in Creation

This poem is inspired with Creation’s visions from Psalm 104 (the poem’s first 12 verses), and with a response from the hymn “My Life Flows On in Endless Song” (the poem’s final six verses).

Clothed with Holy majesty and honor

Heavens stretching out to infinity

Our Lord’s masterpiece endures forever

Clouds witness this sacred affinity

 

Earth’s foundation, never to be shaken

Lofty mountaintops look upon it all

Safe refuge waiting in fertile valleys

Creation’s spirit fulfilling each call

 

From flowing springs, animals quenching thirst

Every season following moon’s phases

Birds singing praise from highest tree branches

Rising and setting sun painting praises

 

God’s creation flowing as endless songs

Nothing shall ever shake its inner calm

Echoing across earth’s fruitful valleys

Scaling each mountaintop as joyful Psalms

 

Creation’s fountain forever springing

Beauty of the Lord’s harmony singing

From Colossians 1:16:  “For in Him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers—all things have been created through Him and for Him.”

Here is the melody and lyrics to “My Life Flows On in Endless Song”:

 

 

Days Grow Longer

Spring’s foretold migration finally arrives

Chasing away winter’s doldrums at long last

Growing longer, warmer days feeling alive

Returning daily, headliners rejoin cast

 

With every sunrise tweet, delightful birds sing

Updating winter’s drab wardrobe, trees turn green

Following God’s cue, all creatures here below

Coloring landscape, sweetness paints every scene

 

Patient gardens blooming, flowers smile again

Waking up from long winter naps, creatures roam

Setting life’s tone, creation’s quiet rhythm

Living in harmony, all feel quite at home

 

Spring’s joyful feast, nature’s symphony humming

Welcoming fanfare’s savory homecoming
