Hear

Have you ever stopped,
In the midst of busyness,
To open your ears and hear,
The sound of creation’s chorus.
The rhythm of the beating rain,
Which praises your Holy name.
The symphony of the stars above,
Basking in your heavenly love.
The dancing of the swaying trees,
Proclaiming all your mighty deeds.
The crashing of the ocean waves,
Performing for the one who saves.
The harmony of earth and seas,
Resounding thanks for He who fills needs.
The silent awe of the rocks around,
Praising of your joy abound.
The trumpeting of the smallest flower,
Reminding us of your amazing power.
The melody of the angels from high,
Singing praise for the one who chose to die.
The singing of all you’ve made,
Acknowledging the peace you gave.

Lord, may my voice join,
With creation’s chorus,
To cry of my love for you,
And thank you for all that you do.
May this small gift that I bring,
Cause your angels louder to sing.
I pour out my heart in the silence,
When I open my ears and hear creation’s praises to you.
