Awesome or Awe's Sum

Beauty burgeons and brims, even in the rainThe vault of earth and heaven's hymns overflows with refrains The beauty of the heavens and the earth awakens aweWhere short-lived showcases of birth soon yield to nature’s lawWhere, like the train of God’s robe, glory’s fringes spill and brimTo fill the temple of the globe with ‘Holy’ holy’s’ hymn The beauty of creation is made plain for all to seeFour-season celebration of Divine AuthorityWhere we are granted glimpses of a Better Timeless PlaceWhile masterpieces of God’s love astonish human race Beauty and brokenness cohere in breath stealing displayA mosaic of smile and tear, of warm gold and cold grayWhere the bliss of beholding cannot thwart the fundamentOf farewell’s kiss enfolding what no sigh can circumvent Where beauty’s bowers thunder with the evidence of HeWhose miracle in wonder is perfect humilityAs we fix our gaze on Him rather than selfish aimAs earth and heavens coffers brim with glory to His name The beauty we behold on earth on That Glad Day will dimAs our mortal death gives birth to an immortal hymnThe miracle of wonder’s perfected humilityThe pure worship that thunders throughout all eternity The beauty of creation is the whisper of yon castAs stuttered exaltation finds love’s perfect words at lastAs broken hearts are mended and as Eden is restoredThe blood-washed soul ascended and forever with the Lord © Janet Martin
