Strange Substance

There is a little world unseen of mold and mites and lice
Microscopic creatures that live in Arctic ice
In every drop of water is a universe unseen
And through the soil, things boring, to make the planet clean

The Maker made so many things we do not understand
Some swim beneath the ocean, some play upon the sand
Some have yet to fall beneath the studied human eye
Some in spite of instruments elude us though we try
to catch them in the very act of doing what they do,
or watching them in worship, in their “place,” their “church,” their “pew.”
The God of all universe has made with His own hands
All Things both big and little for His eternal plans.
As real as all created things I’ve ever seen or heard
Is hope standing tall in faith on nothing but God’s Word
