I will awaken the dawn

This was in my daily Bible reading and the poetic beauty of it stuck to me.

Psalm 108

My heart is steadfast, O God;

I will sing and make music with all my soul.
Awake, harp and lyre! (Or keyboard)

I will awaken the dawn.
I will praise you, O LORD, among the nations;

I will sing of you among the peoples.
For great is your love, higher than the heavens;

your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens,

and let your glory be over all the earth.

I did this a lot last night. Not out loud, but in my head. I even got to the point where I was thinking up poems. I, the most unpoetic person ever, felt quite like the Psalmist:)

I stand in awe of the oceans,

mysterious and deep

'cause He who made them comforts me

when I cry myself to sleep.

I stand in awe of the forests,

and all the trees of green

because their Maker's on my side

when other folk are mean.

I stand in awe of the mountains,

all the purple majesties

'cause their Creator hears me

when I am on my knees.

Elementary, to be sure, but it was an excellent thing to do at the time!
