The creature blown and battered
The critter drown at sea
The carcass no longer living
The Lord God made it be
Each little pademelon
Each possum under car
Each poorly piece of roadkill
He sees their every scar
The sparrow with grey feathers
That’s falling to the ground
The mouse left by our cat
He hears their every sound
He knows their very moment
He knows their very name
The tiny and forgotten
His doing just the same
They lie out in the open
Without a burial
Feed scavenger and millipede
And He does all things well
They rot and they decay
They stink and fade to bone
They dissolve into the soil
Giving life into the loam
He does it and we wonder
He does it and we fear
How great is the Almighty God
Whose Word all things must hear
All creatures bruised and broken
All critters cracked and torn
All crawlies in the night time
Their Maker loves them all
