Creation Sings the Father's Song!

Tonight, Jeremiah and I have been listening to the Getty- Awaken the Dawn CD!  It is an amazing CD and have been just thinking through the lyrics for this song- Creation Sings the Father's Song...

We LOVE the Gettys and ever since being at Southern have been impacted by their rich musical lyrics!!  One of the things we loved about Faith Community Church in Louisville was that we sang so many songs from the Gettys and we just appreciate the rich lyrics of this couple!  It is so refreshing to listen to worship music in the midst of changing diapers, feeding and trying to do a few things when he is sleeping not to mention calming him when he cries and trying to sleep myself.  I have definately sensed the Lord's grace in this season of being tired and overwhelmed but thankful the Lord has given me this season.  As many moms, have said- if you can make it through Week 6, the fussiness seems to die down- I don't want to just "make it" there or when he sleeps through the night, I want to treasure each of these days knowing they are a gift!  Even as I write this, I can't help but think of a few dear friends who are waiting and longing for their babies and looking forward to the joyful day when they hear their baby's cry!!!  And I do pray that the Lord would give them patient endurance in this season until he brings their little one's home to them!  And I pray each day that I would be thankful for little Jeremiah and not take him for granted!  There were many years when I longed for a little baby and longed to be at home and be a mom and I pray that the Lord would give me strength and joy in this season to treasure each day! 

The same God who we see His fingerprints in flakes of snow, commands the newborn babies' cry!
May we contemplate and echo the glories of our God and King! 

Creation sings the Father's song;
He calls the sun to wake the dawn
And run the course of day
Till evening falls in crimson rays.
His fingerprints in flakes of snow,
His breath upon this spinning globe,
He charts the eagle's flight;
Commands the newborn baby's cry.

CHORUS
Hallelujah! Let all creation stand and sing,
"Hallelujah!" Fill the earth with songs of worship;
Tell the wonders of creation's King.

Creation gazed upon His face;
The ageless One in time's embrace
Unveiled the Father's plan
Of reconciling God and man.
A second Adam walked the earth,
Whose blameless life would break the curse,
Whose death would set us free
To live with Him eternally.

Creation longs for His return,
When Christ shall reign upon the earth;
The bitter wars that rage
Are birth pains of a coming age.
When He renews the land and sky,
All heav'n will sing and earth reply
With one resplendent theme: The glories of our God and King!
