Man Ought To Praise His Maker

Man lives by grace in a garden of wonderful provisions made to measure

Everywhere man turns he is held awestruck

Our God, this God, our only God is without measure, incomparable

Knowledgeable men enabled by Spirit of truth when insight is given

Cannot but burst into songs of praise

Marvelling at His unlimited wisdom and understanding

Wonderful beyond measure are his abundant provisions

Who stretches wide vistas of whole universes

For man his favourite handiwork to deliberate, on these things,

To wonder at how awesome God Almighty is -

Wonder of God’s awesome grandeur manifest in amazing works of incomparable greatness

Our Lord who made these great things of a measure that is at times far beyond man’s measure

Has freewill as to how He fulfils His handiwork

Yet, man has freewill in wisdom enabled

Given understanding and provided with knowledge

That in perceiving God’s grandeur unravelling before His senses

His awareness is awakened to that marvellous Father who gives

Requiring of man to acknowledge His Creator were it without cessations -

Thus the Virgin could in faith plain and simple

Proclaim praise in words plaintive ever plastered unto creation's songbook

“My soul glorifies the Lord

And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,”

Man ought to always praise His maker

For gifts given, good things prepared beforehand

Pleasures of life in places beyond compare

All from a loving mind who has created man to be His work of joy -

Man ought to praise His maker

For a Father who corrects to redeem not to condemn

Were He who had all power not love

How could love be His foremost command;

To love your God and your neighbor as yourself? -
