You call me deep into creation
You call me deeply into love
This is my Sabbath celebration
The earth below, the sky above
My
feet follow the well-worn trail
Along the Haw – I am so blest!
My mind recounts the old, old tale:
The weekly work of creating followed by rest
Common Buckeye
 | ||
| Sweet Autumn Clematis | |
 |
| Yellow Tickseed |
Look at what creation has done!
Sweet scents of Clematis fill the air
The green canopy filters the warm sun
And yellow tickseed is found everywhere
“You call me deeper still”
The lyrics of this song fill my ear
“You call me deeper still”
Open up! There is so much more here
I pause to breathe, to listen more intently
Cicadas buzz and click, bees gently hum
The Haw splashes along quite contently
Tree frogs trill, and woodpeckers drum
And under the burst of yellow flowers
A zipper spider awaits his daily catch
I could sit there and watch for hours
And let creative new ideas hatch
  | ||
And hatch they will, but maybe not today
For jewelweed and spider wart catch my eye
And there’s wild Rose of Sharon on display
And look! There’s a bald eagle in the sky!
At trail’s end I pause, then turn around
Giving thanks for the abundance of this day
It’s time for me to be homeward bound
So I can stop at the church to sing and pray
I hear a new sound as I pass the mill
And then the Praise Team comes into plain view
Of course they’re singing, “You call me deeper still
Into love, love, love... and I’m loved by You.”[1]
Yes, I’m loved by You. That’s who I am
A love that is evident in all creation
Embracing the fullness of the great I AM
I give thanks for this Sabbath celebration
