You are magnificent.

 You Are Magnificent

A Reflection on Psalm 8:1, Psalm 145:3, and Job 37:5

You are magnificent—not majestic only, but magnificent,

A word too small to hold the weight of Your worth.

The heavens cannot contain Your glory,

The earth but whispers of Your incredible birth.

O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens. (Psalm 8:1)

Magnificent—in the roar of the waterfall,

In the silent drift of a snowflake's fall.

In the galaxy's swirl, in the atom's dance,

In every careful, hidden circumstance.

Your magnificence is not a distant splendor,

But a nearness that makes the broken heart tender.

The same power that flung the stars into space

Bends to wipe the tears from a weeping face.

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; His greatness no one can fathom. (Psalm 145:3)

Magnificent—in the cross's foolish weakness,

Where love wore the crown of thorn and meekness.

There, in the dying of the Son of Man,

The magnificence of God unfolded its plan.

So I stand in awe, not trembling from afar,

But drawn into the wonder of who You are.

You are magnificent—my King, my God, my Friend,

The beginning, the ending, the never-ending Amen.

God thunders wondrously with His voice; He does great things which we cannot comprehend. (Job 37:5, AMP)

Amen.
