His Steadfast Love Endures

He called the universe to life.
The heavens He secures,
While moon and sun both call Him King.
His steadfast love endures.
 
He filled the earth with mountain peaks,
With rivers, swift and wide,
Then wrapped them all within the arms
Of the sea’s shore and tide.
 
With life abundant, He filled them,
A vast, varied array
That flourishes, each in its time,
And, in time, fades away.
 
Those created in His image
Are blessed above them all,
For when they cry out, He hears them.
He answers when they call.  

 

For He who holds the sun and moon
Resting within His hand
Holds them, as well, His love endures.
Praise Him throughout the land
 
Psalm 136:7-9
to him who made the great lights, for his steadfast love endures forever; the sun to rule over the day, for his steadfast love endures forever; the moon and stars to rule over the night, for his steadfast love endures forever
