It is so grand (Vol1 No 4)

It is so grand - the cosmos with its store

Of galaxies and stars; we stand in awe;

The constellations, nebulae and more,

So limitless, no human can explore.

It is so grand - the beauty of the earth -

Abundant life; all species seek re-birth;

We look at nature; she responds with mirth;

And then we wonder at her dazzling worth.

It is so grand - the body, soul and mind -

So complex yet exquisitely combined;

Belief, thought, deed - effectively entwined 

Reveal the miracle of humankind.

It is so grand - the virtues we hold dear -

Soft kindness, goodness, gentleness sincere,

Faith, hope and love which constantly appear;

And grace, compassion which helps conquer fear.

The ‘God beyond’ is always on display;

The ‘God within’ sustains us all each day;

The ‘God between’ in all our interplay;

We are so blest; we need to kneel and pray.
