The Grand Canyon In Verse

I’ve seen Noah’s flood.  At least, it feels like it.  I don’t know how anyone can visit the Grand Canyon and not see it.  Unfortunately, Park Rangers are paid to say that the Colorado River created it.  Go see it for yourself and you decide… as for me, the rocks cried out and said “I AM is here…”  Luke 19:36-40

A powerful and inspiring landscape, the Grand Canyon overwhelms our senses through its immense size.  There's simply no other place in the world that looks quite like it. Width and depth of the Canyon vary from place to place. At the South Rim, near Grand Canyon Village, it's a vertical mile (about 5,000 feet / 1524 m) from rim to river (7 miles / 11.3 km by trail, if you're walking). At its deepest, it is 6000 vertical feet / 1829 m from rim to river. The width of the canyon at Grand Canyon Village is 10 miles / 16 km (rim to rim), though in places it is as much as 18 miles / 29 km wide. Here's another way to look at size: a trip to the bottom of the Canyon and back (on foot or by mule) is a two-day journey. Rim-to-rim hikers generally take three days one way to get from the North Rim to the South Rim. A trip through Grand Canyon by raft can take two weeks or longer, and experienced backpackers have spent weeks in the more remote areas of the Canyon.

He has made His wonderful works to be remembered
Ps 111:4

They who dwell in the ends of the earth, stand in awe of Your signs Ps. 65:8

Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! Nothing is too difficult for You...Jer 32:17

Listen closely to the thunder of His voice, And the rumbling that goes out from His mouth. "Under the whole heaven He lets it loose, And His lightning to the ends of the earth. "After it, a voice roars; He thunders with His majestic voice, And He does not restrain the lightnings when His voice is heard. "God thunders with His voice wondrously, Doing great things which we cannot comprehend. Job 37:2-5

Rev 4:11 "You are worthy, O Lord,To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things,
And by Your will they exist and were created."

There are ... things which are too wonderful for me,
...which I do not understand: The way of an eagle in the sky, The way of a serpent on a rock, (and the Grand Canyon!) Prov 30:18-19

Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, and saying, " Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation." For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water, through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water. But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
2 Peter 3:3-7

Ps 104:10-13 He sends the springs into the valleys;
They flow among the hills. They give drink to every beast of the field; The wild donkeys quench their thirst. By them the birds of the heavens have their home; They sing among the branches. He waters the hills from His upper chambers;The earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works.

And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.
Col 1:17

We will not hide them from their children,Telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD,And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done.
Ps 78:4

Josh 4:24
that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty, that you may fear the LORD your God forever."

Deut 4:9-10
Only take heed to yourself, and diligently keep yourself, lest you forget the things your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. And teach them to your children and your grandchildren,
