The Dance of Nature

The Heavens above

The Earth formed below

All of these things

Your hands have done

 

The storm clouds they roar

as they stir up the sky

The thunder it crashes

Like heavenly war

The lightening bolt flashes

Like fingers dancing through the sky

The rains flood the Earth

as ten thousand Angels cry,

“To Him be the glory forever, Amen.”

Your playground is nature

Trembling at Your command

 

When Your fury as settled

The clouds they do part

And out of the mist

Your glory reigns forth

The rainbow it shines

As a promise unbroken

The seal of a covenant

Of Words You have spoken

 

 

Ah! The singing of birds

The rustling of leaves

The thought of your works

makes me fall to my knees

In honor and glory and praise I do come

To lay my crown at Your feet

And kneel at Your throne

This poem was given to me directly by God. I know no other way to tell of it. It happened during my morning prayer time. As my head was saying one thing to God this poem was literally pouring out of my heart. Now don’t go thinking that I was engrossed in some sort of magical prayer time where I was whisked away to Wonder Land and received a scroll with these words written on it. It was actually the simplest of prayer. I woke up and stumbled out to the living room where I plopped on the couch and looked out my front picture window. I gazed up at the beautiful early morning sky and began to tell God what I thought of His creation. Just like that these words poured out of my heart with no control of my own. It was exhilarating and I am so thankful that my God would think enough of me to inspire me by His Holy Spirit. I am always fascinated with His creation. Especially with thunder storms. They are magnificent displays of His power. Oh, how He loves us and how I love Him in return.
