Ode to the Creator

Amen, Amen

Oh, what a world you have

From to the peaks to the depths

The light and the dark

You existed before all things

For it is from you all things come

You are great

How intricate your care

All the processes and means

All according to your will

To the great things of stone

Bulwarks of strength and time

To the streams of water, giving life

The depths of the seas

The heights of the clouds

All according to your glory

The power of storms

The sweetness of breeze

Quickening of Spirit

The giver of all things

Before the foundations

You chose us

How compelling you are

The Truth of all things

Bringing light to the darkness

Taking what had become stone

Replacing it with flesh

Giving us new life

But not of our merit

But by Your grace

For saving faith

Oh, great creator

How you are three in one

Father, Son, Spirit

You are all in all

Immutable and Righteous

Holy, Holy, Holy

How Holy you are

Completely other and set apart

You reveal Yourself to us

Through every blade of grass

Every bubble in water

Each cell of the flora

The heavens speak Your name

The birds sing Your praises

The insects show Your intricacies

Yet we curse Your name

For we honor You not

Your creation we adore

How trivial our hearts

Petty and selfish

Corrupt and wicked

But You loved first

You sought first

So, we may love and seek after You

You have given final revelation

By Your Son, the founder of our salvation

Our bearer of sins

The Lord’s Supper

Remembrance of our sin bearer

The one in who we have confidence

The one we have rest

The one who intercedes

The one who saves

The one who proclaims

The one who rules

The one who conquers

In Him we share His life

His death

His resurrection

That glorious day

When He returns

Defeats death and presents the kingdom

We are expectantly faithful

We come to the marriage supper

For we wait for the Bridegroom

We wait to see You face to face

Oh, to hear Your words

"Well done, good and faithful slave"

In the new heavens and earth

To perfectly carry out our chief means

To bring glory to You and enjoy You forever and ever

Amen
