God's Great Power

 

 When God heralds the springtime

And greens all the grass,

Puts green leaves on bare boughs,

Grows bright flowers en masse,

Hides the darkness of Winter

Behind sunny skies,

We'll see God's great power,

Our God who's all-wise.

When God ushers in Summer

With bright-day bouquets,

With butterflies, songbirds,

And children at play,

With daisy-filled meadows

And wild Queen Anne's lace,

We'll see God's great power

In beauty Displayed.

When God opens the Fall door

To sights yet unseen:

The frost on the pumpkins,

The leaf-colored scenes...

The fields filled with bounty

To be harvested,

We'll see God's great power

As Autumn He set.

When God brings back the Winter

Before the year's close,

With snowflakes and snowdrifts

And harsh winds that blow,

With ice-covered streamlets

And icicles clear,

We'll know God's great power

Is present all year.

Be Thou exalted, Lord, in

Thine own strength; so will we

sing and praise Thy power.

Psalm 21:13
