Dare you look at creation and say,
This magnificence happened by chance?
Night unto night and day unto day,
Declare,"this is the work of God's hands".

The sun traversing the ark of the sky
Makes eloquent speech to mankind;
Its Maker is greater than you and I;
If you think it's not so, you are blind.

Maybe the light in your heart is all dark,
Though others might say that it shines:
Stop! Think for a moment! Take a step back!
Hear the crystal-clear voice of the skies.

Celestials in place, hanging on nought,
So stable, they're our measure of time.
To their absence, we never give thought,
Yet without them we wouldn't survive.

Men theorize as to how life occurred,
Glorifying themselves in their minds;
Supressing the truth of God's written Word;
Now the blindest are leading the blind.

God declares in the simplest of terms,
All creation was made by His hand.
The humble man from God's wisdom learns
Great truths the fool can not understand.

God's Word is perfect, contenting the soul;
His sure counsel brings peace to my mind;
More to be sought than the finest of gold;
No greater treasure will you ever find.

Be free of trinkets by which your heart's bound;
Seek the pearl beyond earthly price.
God's Word declares where it's to be found;
Priceless treasure is hidden in Christ.
