Psalm 148: Calling all creation!

Hey, you! Give praise to God!
You angels in heaven, sing out glory.
You stars, sun and moon, shine bright with praise!
God dreamed you and called you and here you are!
You fish and whales and squid, sing praise in the deep.
You elements of nature, fire, rain, wind,
cold and heat, stone and mountain - praise!
God dreamed you and called you and here you are!
You plants and forests, praise God as you flower and fruit.
You mammals, insects, reptiles and birds - praise!
God dreamed you and called you and here you are!
You people, Presidents and nobodies, rich and poor,
women and men and girls and boys,
in every corner of planet Earth,
God dreamed you and called you and here you are!
So listen out for the Name that is above every Name,
sing out with all the love and joy you can find
for all you are is made by God,
all you have is gift from God.
Calling all creation – come and be found in praise!
