Unsurpassed by Debra Wilkins

The wonders of your vast creation, God, we cannot know
while standing still in winter woods with a gentle kiss of silent snow.
Tree majesty surrounds, astounds,
affirms how slight the space and place we hold
here.
Yet we are made magnificent as mountains, tall
and woven delicate in details all,
filled with life, more so than a rushing icy stream
awestruck we pause, attempt to fathom the magnitude
of You… and us… and all we see and cannot see around;
We still feel small,
perceiving insignificant to stars and seas and all between
but You never told us that.

The culmination jewel of all creation
You set us
fashioned in the image of Creator,
never less than any thought You thought, word You spoke
formed and monogrammed by You.
And so, Your grandest grandeur wrapped around
in fact, reminds us of our stature and position
in Your eyes, in Your hands
how truly great we are to You.


Of all You’ve made,
we are unsurpassed.
