A psalm of praise

who is a God

like the Lord of lords

the King of kings

Creator of all beings

He was

before

beginning

everything

that ever was

was brought into light

and made manifest by Him

only made possible

by his great power

He did it all

majesty and glory

belongs to Him

who was

and is

and will be

forever

He is worthy

the purpose

and the origin

of everything 

He does

is perfect

and wonderful love

because

beyond that

He is love

He is really worthy

to be praised

and receive all glory

of every living being

yeah

He certainly is

and therefore

He is praised 

by all the beauty

around and within us

all tenderness

all brigthful colours

and the overwhelming variety

of the whole creation

He is praised

by every dark corner of the universe

every sparkling bright starlight

every endless cosmos

every invisible detailed complexity

each fragile white cloud 

in a wonderful sky

each wandering river

through a green valley

all the highest mountains

and every grain of sand

all things in the whole universe

working together in perfect harmony

the abundance of all flowers

the fruitful trees and animals

singing birds in the big blue sky

and swimming fish 

in the depth of the seas

all the raindrops

and the whirling wind

each word

and every sigh

each tear

and every worry

He made it all

to praise him

all day long

each shy and little man

and every fascinating woman

the beauty of tenderness and love

the innocence and confidence

of a little child

the wrinkles in faces of old people

marks of experience

He is raining

blessings 

everyday

to all mankind

He inspires

and enlightens

He is whispering

in healing silence

His power

shows in weakness

His mercy 

never ends

His footsteps

are unknowable

not logical

but beautiful

in melancholy songs

and poems of desire

in the fragile story of a life

in the history of all men

even in the brokenness

and the mixed feelings

of pain and beautiful love

there is a glimpse

of a wonderful God

in the hand on a shoulder

in the prayer of a mother

in the glimpse 

of an eternal moment

in the silence 

of a waiting heart

He is 

everywhere

but seen 

by no one

but

one day

He will be 

coming

opening up

to be known

and seen 

at last

full of overwhelming glory

no more waiting

no more hiding

no more questions

no more tears

magnifique

magnificent

majestic

and miraculous

from that moment on

until forever

so

in the meantime

let us all

wait

and pray

work

and love

praise

and sing 

cry

and feel

give

and receive

because

of Him

who is waiting

and praying

for us
right now
