Creation Sings

Heavenly Father,

You alone are God. There is none beside you. There is no one like you, knowing the end from the beginning. The sound of your voice makes the foundations of the earth tremble. Those who trust in you shall not be moved, though the forces of hell rage against them. You are my strong fortress and deliverer. I will be still before you, secure in the knowledge that you are my God. You are exalted by all creation. The heavens sing your praises. The earth shouts your glory. The ocean's waves lift up your name. Life teems, creatures swarm and scurry, all lifting up a chorus of acclamation to your greatness. Man bears your image and reflects back to you the majesty of the attributes you imparted to them. You have made all things good. It takes a full universe to glorify you, and still it pales before your holy self. Teach me to honor you in my life that I may join with your creation. Purify my whole being that I may better add my voice to the symphony of praise.

In the name of one who is the perfect image of your glory. Amen.
