God our Maker, your
steadfast love extends to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the
clouds. Your righteousness
is like the mighty
mountains, your judgments
like the great deep.
Your kingdom is as if
someone would scatter seed
on the ground, and days
pass, and it sprouts
and it grows--we know
not how.
How foolish we are to struggle
against you--
the pot does not question
the potter.
All we need to know is what
your will for us is.
