The Grand Canyon


The Grand Canyon


Who can deny a mighty hand
In these vast miles of stone?
This multicolored handiwork
Was carved by God alone!
The canyon walls in beauty rise
In shades of every hues.
Beneath an Arizona sky
The river courses through.
Some believe all this was carved
By years of sliding mud
But anyone who sees will know
It happened by a flood.
And one thing that we learn as this
Catastrophe is explored
This grand canyon bears His mark –
The glory of the Lord.

For Granddaddy and Grandmama, in remembrance of our trip to the canyon in the fall of 1999.
