This song came to mind as I went out recently to revel in how our Creator has clothed his creation. (if you'd like to hear it too, just click on the link below the photos)
Mmm...
My life goes on in endless song
above earth's lamentations,
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
that hails a new creation.
Above the tumult and the strife
I hear its music ringing,
It sounds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing?
Oh though the tempest loudly roars,
I hear the truth, it liveth.
Oh though the darkness 'round me close,
Songs in the night it giveth.
No storm can shake my inmost calm,
While to that Rock I'm clinging.
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?
When tyrants tremble with fear
And hear their death knell ringing,
When friends rejoice both far and near
How can I keep from singing?
No storm can shake my inmost calm,
While to that Rock I'm clinging.
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?
My life goes on in endless song
Above earth's lamentations,
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
How can I keep from singing?
Lord, how can I keep from singing?
Oh, how can I keep from singing?
My life goes on in endless song
above earth's lamentations,
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
that hails a new creation.
Above the tumult and the strife
I hear its music ringing,
It sounds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing?
Oh though the tempest loudly roars,
I hear the truth, it liveth.
Oh though the darkness 'round me close,
Songs in the night it giveth.
No storm can shake my inmost calm,
While to that Rock I'm clinging.
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?
When tyrants tremble with fear
And hear their death knell ringing,
When friends rejoice both far and near
How can I keep from singing?
No storm can shake my inmost calm,
While to that Rock I'm clinging.
Since love is lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?
My life goes on in endless song
Above earth's lamentations,
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
How can I keep from singing?
Lord, how can I keep from singing?
Oh, how can I keep from singing?
From the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities, his eternal
power and divine nature, have been clearly observed in what He made. As a
result, people have no excuse. (Romans 1:20)

So true. How can we keep from singing when we dwell upon all that God has given us. The beauty of nature is just one small part,but I do so enjoy it. Love all the pictures.
Hi Rick, very very spectacular autumn scenery. Love all the pictures. Excellent click, you're good. Admire your photography skill.

Rick, thanks for sharing the song, it's so strong and positive. I couldn't help it and had to listen to it repeatedly for a few times. :)
Very good reflections on the water!
The photos are superb! The reflections are awesome and the sceneries do show how great the creations of God are. I love the song. Indeed, all nature sings of God's glory.
Wonderful landscapes, their reflection adds to the sense of wonder and calm.
Grand reflections, and shots, also words Rick, tis wonderful to listen to Eva also - as I type, thanks.

Once again Rick you're really outdone yourself; I love, love, love the reflection shots!
Very fitting scripture, there really are no excuses... I'm fresh out of them since my head is no longer in the foggy place it once was. ;-)f
Have a super awesome weekend; do what you love and love what you do... in other words keep on doing exactly what you have been doing. :)
Gorgeous photography!
Such beautiful photographs, especially that last one! The song is lovely, and so very fitting.
You could certainly see your skills within the paintings you write. The world hopes for more passionate writers such as you who aren’t afraid to mention how they believe. At all times go after your heart.
