O Mighty God - when I observe the wonder <br />Of Nature's wealth created by your power <br />I see the clouds - the lightning and the thunder <br />Ensuing storm and sweet refreshing shower. <br /> <br />When I observe the Universe's vastness <br />The countless stars that fill the evening sky <br />Where Sun and Moon keep watch uopn the fastness <br />Of chaning seasons - as the days go by. <br /> <br />When through deep woods and forest glades I wander <br />A hear the birds all singing in the trees <br />I stand in awe of lofty mountain grandeur <br />With rushing falls and lakes of tranquil ease. <br /> <br />The Scriptures tell the record of your blessing <br />So freely given to all the human race <br />Your constant Mercy - all our needs addressing <br />Forgiving sin and weakness by your Grace. <br /> <br />And when at last - the mists of time have vanished <br />You will redeem what now we dimly see <br />Through Heaven's gates - where eartly ills are banished <br />We'll enter in for all Eternity. <br /> <br />Then sings my soul - O Mighty God to you <br />How great you are - How great you are <br />Sustaining everything in view <br />How great you are - How great you are <br />We'll spend eternity with you <br />How great you are - How great you are. <br /> <br />Adapted form the Swedish poem 'O STORE GUD' written in 1886. <br /> <br />(John Knight - Spring in Colchester - March 2010)<br /><br />John Knight<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/655-god-is-great/
