How many shades of blue did you paint in this scene of beauty, O Lord;
the bright blue sky and the turquoise waters changing colour
as clouds pass by.
How many grains of sand did you make on this beach stretching far
and wide, with coral and pebbles, shells and wildlife as crabs scuttle along
on their side.
How many leaves and plants and trees did you grow in this paradise;
giving shade from the sun and rest for the birds, blowing in the wind,
a sign of life.
How many people did you create in your image, O Lord;
Young and old, big and small, creating footprints here in the sand.
Taking in your beautiful earth, sea and sky, relaxed and happy, at peace
and quiet.
Thank you, O Lord, for all that you give, a picture postcard for all to see.
The sounds of the ocean, the birds and the breeze.
To you be all glory, our thanks and our praise, O creator God, all that we
could ever need.
