He Hung the Stars

by Janet Foor

He hung the sparkling stars in space.
Suspended them in indigo.
He ladled out the seven seas
with splashing waves that ebb and flow.

He placed the moon to rule the night.
A bold reflection of the sun.
Its pull so strong, it turns the tide.
A power conceived by only One.

We watch the eastern skies at dawn
to see the golden bright sunrise.
The shadows fade, the dewdrops dance.
With hope and wonder, my heart sighs.

He made the creatures of the earth.
Each one unique in their own way.
The spotted owl, the great blue whale --
As different as night and day.

He etched each snowflake in the air
as fancy as Chantilly lace.
Then swirled them in a cloud of white
and sprinkled them on each child's face.

He carved the rugged mountain tops
and painted them a purple hue.
He spun the golden fields of grain
beneath the sky of powder blue.

Then he created humankind.
In His own image was His plan.
Profound reminder of His love.
With joy, He holds us in His hands.

We marvel at the universe
and praise the gifts He gave with flair.
We celebrate the grand cosmos.
and humbly bow our heads in prayer.
