God is great!
Great in power.
Mountains tremble, oceans roar!
Life lavished on
creature, flower
multiplies from shore to shore.
God is great!
Great in beauty.
At His sight creation sings!
Rainbow fire
all-consuming,
graced with jewels and angel wings
God is great!
Great in knowledge.
Knows my longings and my frame!
Richest depths of
unsearched wisdom
calls each child and star by name
God is great!
Great in justice.
Holy standard of the law!
Righteous judge,
Who knows no equal,
Substitute for human flaw.
God is great!
Great in mercy.
Oh what suffering, pain, and grief
raised this creature
weak and lowly,
brought my hungering soul relief!
God is great
beyond all measure
sovereign, holy, faithful, good!
Heart of mine,
behold your Treasure,
known yet never understood.
I love the Lord Jesus with all of my heart. Besides being a teacher, I have been a newspaper guest columnist and have had several short stories and poems published. I love extracting beauty from the ordinary: vegetables, notes, fabric, flowers, paper, weeds, words.
