The Glory of God

The world paints a picture

before my eyes

Beauty indescribable

fills my senses

as light and colour marry

In a lover’s touch

 

Creation comes to life before me

by the unseen hand of a loving sculptor

who moulds and shapes

each complex form of our existence into being

 

Mesmerized I stand in awe

of the glory that surrounds me

of this wondrous earth we call home

 

The impossibility of each intricate detail of life

being formed in such perfection thrills me

From within a single blade of grass

to the miracle of the flesh and blood body in which I live

I see the loving hand of a mysterious creator

Of one with such power and might

that even the oceans obey His command

even the rain falls at His Word

 

His voice is thunder

His countenance brighter than the sun

the universe is His playground

the stars proclaim the Glory of His Name

 

In every minute element of nature

I see the wonder of God

I feel His power

I sense the great love and mercy

He has for us all

 

In every moment

every breath of life

every intimate kiss

of light and colour

as they weave their glorious arrays

across the face of the earth

I see the Glory of God revealed

Your faith really shines in this! You can tell how passionate you are in God. It's such a wonderful thing when you can share something you love with someone through something you both love! Great job! So far, you have not disappointed! You are so talented!

Breathtaking. This is so an apt description of experiencing the Majesty of the the Creator. It's beautiful, truly. Great write.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thank you so much.

[Sarahthirk]

I myself am not religious, but I do respect people's faiths, and it's clear that you are very committed to your faith. My favorite lines are the first two lines of the fourth stanza. Wonderful job

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thank you :)

This supplies great detail and wonder - God is truly with us as the Bible says creation testifies of itself. If he turned his back on this world we would very well evaporate from existing.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Yes so very true. Thank you :)

I believe that god only exist to those who are foolish and wants to believe. To those who believe in the great Marshmallow, life is a blast with a little bit of fire fart blast. I am so sorry if I am not making any sense. I is tired but I want to show my appreciation by writing reviews to everyone who's sent me a read request. Love life. Love god. Love everyone except yourself. Yourself should only be considered as a reverent being who is worth more than the love you could provide yourself. God in my opinion is superficial. hard work is real. Live life and prosper.

[Carolann Dowsett]

That's very sad that you believe that.

You describe what you believe in so very well...This is a very powerful yet tender poem...I almost wish I had your faith

[Carolann Dowsett]

Thank you. God is for everyone, if you want faith then He will give it to you, you just have to ask.
