KNOWING GOD THROUGH NATURE
Can you feel the love of God in a lovely gentle breeze,
Hear His sweet words in the whispering of the trees,
And see the love-light of His eyes in every flower,
Felt that healing love in a cooling summer shower?

Can you hear His kindness in the song of each bird,
Or when the gurgling of a stream or brook is heard,
Know of His kindness by seeing the beauty everywhere
And feeling the peace that comes with the restful night’s air?

Can you see His thoughtfulness when animals you see,
Creatures great and small to delight you and me,
No two species are alike for He thinks of everything,
Can you see what joy He brings through His thinking?

Can you see His power in the pounding of the sea,
In the claps of thunder and the lightening we see
His power given in kindness to teach us all the way,
Now His strength will help us grow better every day.

Can you see His gentleness when you see a parent and child,
Whether a human family or the creatures out in the wild?
A gentle hand that will calm the sea if it be His will,
He has the wisdom to know when we need those words, Be still.
