Happy 2007

O' Lord the waves cry out your name
And the trees bow before you.
The animals sing your praise
And the flowers release your fragrance

O' God you are Lord of heaven and earth.
Your presence fills every inch of this land.
Like rain your presence seeps into the ground.

The stars speak of your holiness.
The clouds declare your gentle hand.
The storm rages with your jealousy,
And the lightening crashes with your power.

You are in all places.
You dwell among all nations.
None escape your gaze, and all are known to you.
If men fail to sing of your goodness and speak of your love,
The rest of creation would burst to try to describe your glory.

But never let it be that the privilege of men becomes the duty of rocks.
Let it never be that the painting can’t recognize the artist.
Let it never be that the bride turns her back on the groom.
God, stir in her heart and put a new song on her lips.
Renew her passion for him.
Let her reflect his light.

Lord you presence fills this land like water fills the sea.
Your breath blows through this place like the wind blows on the hilltop.
May your name be praise in every nation by every tongue.
O' God you are the Lord of heaven and earth.
