Does not every mighty oak tree
Strong branches point to heaven above?
All creation in Thine image
Is it not true of this one we love?
Creatures winged and water worthy
Those who move on four legs all
In their motion draw us to you
Breath and life in big and small
How stillness aches when motion ceases
Our hearts refined like gold in flame
This glimpse of you through your creation
This one we’ve loved and called by name
Now see we in a mirror dimly
But in time’s fullness, pray we, Lord
Giver of life, divine creator
That all creation be restored
Strong branches point to heaven above?
All creation in Thine image
Is it not true of this one we love?
Creatures winged and water worthy
Those who move on four legs all
In their motion draw us to you
Breath and life in big and small
How stillness aches when motion ceases
Our hearts refined like gold in flame
This glimpse of you through your creation
This one we’ve loved and called by name
Now see we in a mirror dimly
But in time’s fullness, pray we, Lord
Giver of life, divine creator
That all creation be restored
