The Weekly Encourager - March 30, 2010 - "God of Concrete, God of Steel"

Today I share a wonderful hymn acknowledging God as the Lord of science, technology, work, and so much more.  He is behind every achievement of man.  He is the giver of every good gift!  As one blogger says, "You'd like to sing this at home. And in church. And possibly on public transit."

God of Concrete, God of Steel
- by Richard Granville Jones

God of concrete, God of steel,
God of piston and of wheel,
God of pylon, God of steam,
God of girder and of beam,
God of atom, God of mine:
all the world of power is thine.

Lord of cable, Lord of rail,
Lord of freeway and of mail,
Lord of rocket and of flight,
Lord of soaring satellite,
Lord of lightning’s flashing line:
all the world of speed is thine.

Lord of science, Lord of art,
Lord of map and graph and chart,
Lord of physics and research,
Word of Bible, Faith of church,
Lord of sequence and design:
all the world of truth is thine.

God whose glory fills the earth,
gave the universe its birth,
loosed the Christ with Easter’s might,
saves the world from evil’s blight,
claims us all by grace divine:
all the world of love is thine.

God is the great Creator.
