Glory and Grace

The clouds glide across the sky as wind peals through the trees


The song and colors of the distant stars sing in praise


undimmed by human years


A single capsule of a citrus orange bursts


It too is the design of an ingenious Mind


Eternity's song moves through the galaxies


It whispers in the wind


"Be still...listen...know"


O Mortal stand and be still


O one bound by the walls of flesh consider


There is more to you than a carbon cage


Although it too is fearfully made


More to you there is than a sagging tent


Yet even it bears a fingerprint


of splendor, yes splendor


O quiet now as you observe the dusk sky


and stand on the water's edge


Yet even these are dwarfed by the great expanse


of galaxies far


An inkling dawns..."so small...so small"


Yes, so small, but not too small


Not too small to escape the heart eyes of One


Yes One who spoke these into being


Stand before Him


Worship


Revere


Yet rejoice O small one


Exult and delight, relish for you


one so small have been sealed by His gaze


And you, blood-covered one, you are not only in His sight


You are by Him, yes Him, called


"You are mine"
