Poem: The Earth is the Lord's

The Earth is the Lord's

The earth is the Lord's
and the fullness thereof...
It speaks of His greatness,
it sings of His love.
and each day at dawning,
I lift my heart high
And raise up my eyes
to the infinite sky.
I watch the night vanish
as a new day is born,
And I hear the birds sing
on the wings of the morn.
I see the dew glisten
in crystal-like splendor
While God, with a touch
that is gentle and tender,
Wraps up the night
and tucks it softly away
And hangs out the sun
to herald a new day.
And so I give thanks
and my heart kneels to pray,
"God, keep me and guide me and go with me today."
