Colossians 1:15–17 (KJV)


Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

The whole earth was created
and crowned with the beauty
of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Every blade of grass
a thread in His royal robe,
every mountain ridge
a jewel set upon His brow.

The oceans roar His praise
in thunder-language of waves,
the forests lift green hands
and tremble with His name.

Sunrise spills molten gold
across the waking lands,
a daily coronation
for the King who holds the worlds.

Stars burn as candles
round His midnight throne,
and every breath of wind
whispers, “All for Him,
all by Him,
all through Him alone.”

The whole earth—
a single, shining diadem
laid at the feet
of Jesus Christ,
the everlasting Lord.
Amen.
