Sometimes you are well advised to stop, find a park bench and soak up God's creation in all its wonder.
I wrote this on a park bench in the Peak District.
Lord of life,
of colour and colour,
of breeze and light.
Lord of bluebell and butterfly,
of birdsong and birds' flight.
Lord of space to think,
of time to rest.
Lord of movement,
of stillness.
I sit here and I confess
complete adoration,
my sunshine celebration
of this, your full spectrum,
this rainbow-wide gifted creation.
I sit and give thanks
for this sustained life,
of greens and blues in yellow light,
of this colour full to the brim life,
of fresh composed songscape,
this God given escape.
I thank you, Lord, for this gateway,
this fresh every morning,
gifted new day.
