19th Sunday after Pentecost
Psalm 8, paraphrase by Pastor William
Wow God, your creation is magnificent;
you did such a great job!
Babies coo and babble about it,
youngsters shout and sing.
Their voices rise above and drown out,
all those who deny you.
I look up and see the stars,
and know you created them.
Such majesty and beauty,
you spoke it into being.
You made us humans,
and gave us such power.
You put the world at our feet,
and charged us to care for it.
You trust us with so much;
guide us in our actions.
Wow God, your creation is magnificent;
you did such a great job!
