For You Alone

I feel like singig this morning, O Lord,
I feel like telling everyone about me how great You are.
If only they could know the depths of Your love and Your eternal concern for those who will follow You.
But my songs are so often off-key.
My speech is so inadequate.
I simply cannot express what i feel, what i know to be true about Your love for Your creatures upon this world.
But even the songs of the birds proclaim Your praises
The heavens and the earth beneath them,
the trees that reach toward You
the flowers that glow in colorful beauty
the green hills and soaring mountains
the valleys and the plains
the lakes and the rivers
the great oceans that pound our shores
they proclaim Your greatness, O God
and Your love for the sons of men.
How glorious it is to be alive, O Lord!
May every breath of my body, every beat of my heart be dedicated to Your praise and glory.
