Maker
South pole, north pole,
Comets, asteroids, and black holes.
Canis and feline,
The lion and the hind,
Blazes of bush fires,
Maple trees, willows and firs.
The fall and the spring,
Snakes and birds on the wing,
The glory of a rainbow,
The silent snow,
By the millions declare your praise-
Praise to the ancient of days.
Spiders spin their orb;
Proclaim you Lord.
Whales sing the same;
The rocks cry out your name.
Your voice is in the thunder;
Your creation holds us in wonder.
Thou art our father, Jesus Christ:
You made us from dust.
Forgive our trespass,
Forgive our deficient praise,
Remind us who we are-
And who thou art-
Father of nature,
Our God and Maker.
