Lord, I See You

Lord, I see you in the green cathedral

of majestic, aged trees,

and in every sparkling dewdrop

falling from their leaves.

I hear your voice in rippling water,

the sweet music of the streams,

and in the roar of waterfalls

that echo in my dreams.

I feel your touch in the playful breeze

that gently caresses me,

and in the warmth of the summer sun

or the wind we cannot see.

I see you in the yellow buttercup

and in the spiders jewelled web,

in the wax and waning of the moon

and the tides that flow and ebb.

I hear you in the thunder

that crashes overhead,

and in the still, small voice

that lives inside my head.

Your presence is all around me,

in everything I see and hear,

and the beauty of your creation

shows me you are near.

Let the sounds of adulation

make all creation ring,

as mountains stand in awe of you

and men and angels sing.
