Before mountains ever brought forth
Emptiness waits for its time
Then, Creator formed life at last
Dynamics endlessly rhyme
Nightly dance follows daily song
Morning’s sunrise shall renew
Creator’s everlasting time
Earth’s serenity in view
Delight in counting each minute
Time’s destiny in His hands
Creator’s faithful perfection
Ceaseless, unyielding commands
Dwelling place for generations
Harmony’s heavenly home
Creator’s time never stands still
Perpetual peace shall roam
Compassion breathes from time’s oneness
Love filling each endeavor
Our Creator’s Infinity
Forever joins forever
