The clouds have kidnapped the morning – v10

What if this led the news,

truth beyond comprehension,

the weather forecast more honest

that the clouds have kidnapped the morning;

how little we really know

about the weather patterns

how the forces of nature interact

the plans of the Father.

The heavens hold a secret

held within their grasp,

something we cannot know

that we do not understand;

ancient struggles evident

written upon the sky, in the soil,

in the dust of the earth

in the living creatures.

The clouds have kidnapped the morning,

the sun is not visible at all,

the sky coming closer

descending from the heavens

clouds pulled toward the ground;

hungry for its bounty

the harvest of the earth.

Holding the sun for ransom,

to repay an ancient debt,

an unspoken recording

an unspoken recording

a libretto, a song;

in the ledger of heaven

in the story of life

spoken from sealed lips

written across the heavens.

The mystery yet remaining

to believe, to experience,

something yet unknown,

for us to take on faith;

the sky holds the secret

written on the heavens

something yet unknown

revealed in God’s time only

to His children alone.

that the clouds have kidnapped the morning;

How little we really know

Descending from the heavens

The clouds have kidnapped the morning – v5

an earnest game, something more

holding the sun for ransom

to repay an ancient debt

an unspoken recording

in the ledger of heaven,

the story of life

players on stage, out of the background,

clouds have kidnapped the morning

the sun not visible at all

the sky coming nearer

descending from the heavens

clouds pulled toward the ground

Like a skin of the drum

Like a new skin of a drum
pulled into position, new music
the hand of God
stretching the tent of the heavens
over the dome, the foundation
the arc of the heavenly firmament
seeking to show us majesty
the stars across the night sky

The Song of the Heavens

The sound of their singing
in bright, majestic colors
the song of the heavens
praising the Lord

Without ceasing
if we are just open
all of creation
singing one song

To our Creator
our loving Master
praises to Him
all of our days

Love from heaven
reflected by nature
singing to God
the eternal song
