Earth, God, Me and You
Compiled by Pastor Steve Hughes
(Selected & Paraphrased Verses; Psalm 104, 1 Samuel 16:13, Isaiah 45:12, Romans 1:20)
Lord my God, how great you are!
Lord, what a variety of things you have made!
You stretch out the starry curtain of the heavens
for your tent and ours.
You placed the world on its foundation.
Majestic mountains rose and valleys grew 
in the places you decreed.

You clothed the earth with water.
You send rain on the mountains 
from your heavenly home,
You make springs pour water into streams 
that gush down from the mountains.
They provide water for all the animals and your people.

    You cause grass to grow for the livestock.
You fill the earth with fruit and plants for people to use.
You allow people to produce food from the earth—
    wine to make them glad, olive oil to soothe their skin,
and bread to give them strength.
High in the mountains live the wild goats,
    and the rocks are their refuge from danger.
    and you renew the face of the earth.
    The Lord takes pleasure in all he has made!
    I will praise my God to my last breath!


The trees that the Lord planted are well cared for.
Birds sing among the branches.
You made the moon to mark the seasons
and the sun knows when to set.
You send the darkness, and it becomes night,
when forest animals come out.
Then the young lions roar
stalking the food provided by God.

I am the one who made the earth and created you
and the people who live on earth.
For ever since the world was created, 
people have seen the earth and sky.
Through everything God made, 
they can clearly see his invisible qualities
—his eternal power and divine nature.
Praise the Lord, who has not withheld 
His kindness and faithfulness.

The winds are your messengers God.
The Spirit of God enters like a rush of wind,
refreshing and empowering our lives.
    In wisdom you have made us all.  We all depend on you.
When you give us your breath, life is created,
May the glory of the Lord continue forever!
I will sing to the Lord as long as I live.
May all my thoughts be pleasing to him, 
for I rejoice in the Lord.
