Thanksgiving Day Poetry

Thanksgiving is obviously about family and friends celebrating what they are thankful for in their lives. We have a God in heaven who watches over us. Yes, even in our distress, He is always with us. So today, let’s just take our eyes off ourselves and thank the One who sends angels to guard us. Can you just hear the earth singing?

Psalm 96 from The Message

Sing God a brand-new song! Earth and everyone in it, sing!
Sing to God--worship God!

Shout the news of his victory from sea to sea,
Take the news of his glory to the lost,
News of his wonders to one and all!

For God is great, and worth a thousand Hallelujahs.
His terrible beauty makes the gods look cheap;
Pagan gods are mere tatters and rags.  

God made the heavens--Royal splendor radiates from him,
A powerful beauty sets him apart.

Bravo, God, Bravo!
Everyone join in the great shout: Encore!
In awe before the beauty, in awe before the might.

Bring gifts and celebrate,
Bow before the beauty of God,
Then to your knees--everyone worship!

Get out the message--God Rules!
He put the world on a firm foundation;
He treats everyone fair and square.

Let’s hear it from Sky,
With Earth joining in,
And a huge round of applause from Sea.

Let Wilderness turn cartwheels,
Animals, come dance,
Put every tree of the forest in the choir--

An extravaganza before God as he comes,
As he comes to set everything right on earth,
Set everything right, treat everyone fair.
