To my Maker and Creator

i felt like this song needs some context so im adding in where it came from:
I was at this concert laying down on a blanket looking up at the sky. I was enjoying the music but not really into it and i love stars so i was just staring at them, and for a moment i swore i saw some stars twinkling to the music being played and it seemed like they were dancing to the music. This got me thinking to how alive creation is and brought in a flood of other things around us that remind me of how creation praises its Creator, we just need to look. I wrote this with the intention to join in with the rest of the created in praising our Creator.

Creation Alive

The stars dance to your music with joy unmatched
The sun shines forth your glory with all the radiance alive
The sky stretches with your grace unending colors abound
The ground soaks up your mercy poured on thirsty lips

How great You are
Beautiful, Gloriously robed
Make me Your creation alive

The moon reflects your greatness afar empty and dark alone
The ocean swells deep with your love filling the deepest of depths
The winds scream with praise while leaves are dancing in your honor
The thunder rolls out your majesty with clouds annoucing the Great I Am

How great You are
Beautiful, Gloriously robed

The wonder of it all is how
I've lost this wonder and awe of You
Beautiful, Glorious, Great I Am, Majesty

How great You are
Beautiful, Gloriously robed
Make me Your creation alive

Hi Ill-
Thanks for the comments on Joe Creator. I like your words--well done. "The ground soaks up your mercy poured on thirsty lips". . .wonderful imagery. Have you put it to music? I see where you are, and truthfully, I am not far away from that place.

Yeah, I like to write l-o-n-g songs. Joe Creator actually has four more verses, but I didn't include them because they get a little off the point and too much into playing with humor. My real beef is not with God at all, just with organized religion and how they often present God to the petrified masses. It's ridiculous and so manipulative. We get a bigger dose of it here in the South.

Drop a line if you get a notion to Patrick@CoastCottages.net.
