Analysis of Jubilation
Patty G McKee 1948 (Long Beach, CA)
Thousands of trees that bend in the breeze
whisper of His creation.
Sweet fragrant bowers of myriad flowers
attest to His plan.
Jubilation!
Canyons too vast for our minds to grasp
are monuments to His creation.
Progressing along, God continues His song.
His mystery unfolds.
Jubilation!
Only the blind would miss the design
God stamped into all creation.
The foolish and proud renounce Him aloud.
His bride humbly bows.
Jubilation!
When this age has passed, our Groom comes at last,
receiving us with elation.
Canyons and trees melt away with the seas.
A new world awaits.
Jubilation!
