This is the first book in a short collection of verse created during worship. Written in accessible language, drawing on vivid descriptions of small moments in time or thought, Creation & Praise is published to inspire, encourage and enlighten the reader as they consider who they are and why they have been chosen by a magnificent creator God. The Creation section shares descriptions of the wonder and majesty of being. It reflects on the joy and expectation in built to our human existence and the vast intimacy of a creator God. The Praise verses offer a range of responses to the awesomeness of God, giving acknowledgement of the unending grace He showers upon each and every one of us. The author, Bernard Clarke wrote the verse in this book as a response to God in worship. He is not a scholar of poetry or literature, just an honest believer on his own, imperfect journey to receive and share the love of God through Jesus Christ. He lives in Staffordshire in the United Kingdom. Everything compiled here came from an inspiration set within a moment of devotion. Often a flow of thought came from hearing or reading a phrase shared by another in public praise. Such moments were not always part of a deeply spiritual devotion; often they came in a short space of creative clarity in an otherwise noisy, distracted day. All the books in the Words of Worship series are available as paperback or on Kindle:
