Worthy

A Poem

The Heavens - Photo by Debi Hassler

WORTHY
O Lord, you are worthy
As majestic as a king
Holy, Holy, Holy
The saints and angels sing

As vast as the heavens
You spoke into place
Are the works of your hands
Scattered in space

Your Word is a shout
Your strength is as steel
No foe can assail you
For you rule with zeal

So what then is man
As weak as a kitten
For whom you were scourged
And willingly stricken

From birth to the end
Our steps now you keep
As attentive as a Shepherd
Who cares for each sheep

Placed just below angels
As children of the light
To be crowned with your glory
When death becomes sight
