Grand Canyon Suite...Majesty

O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. Psalm 8:1

Have you been there? Have you seen the majesty of the Grand Canyon? More than that, have you experienced the grandeur? the magnificence? the strength? Words fail. It is a masterpiece of God's. A work of art. A symphony.

I,
standing on the rim,
cannot comprehend the magnitude of what I see.
A great divide.
Flat land,
interrupted not by height but depth.
Eons exposed to the eye.
What lies below the surface is revealed,
layer upon layer.
Vast monuments of rock rise up from far below,
shaped by Your hand,
and time,
and colored with Your brush,
at dusk fresh tinted with the last of day.
I, shivering in the cold,
feel yet a deeper shudder in my soul.
I am touched by majesty.
How majestic is Your name!

O Lord, our Lord, if your glory is set above the heavens, how will we stand its majesty?
