The Lord's World
Musings of my heart.
This your world is beautiful Lord.
The trees stand all by themselves, held by their root.
Plants, grasses and flowers alike.
This your world is beautiful Lord.
Animals, greens and man give birth to their kind.
Humans stay nine months in the womb.
All of the others, also come in the order of life.
This your world is beautiful Lord.
The lakes, seas, and rivers never run dry.
Beaches know their boundaries.
All other water bodies alike, each knows its boundary.
They flow and flow, covering a great expanse of land.
This your world is beautiful Lord.
Rains wet the earth so you feed us with nutrients.
The soil is the basin that supports all human life.
All other organic matters, minerals, and organisms together support life.
You close your eyes, and there is famine, all flesh and grass return to thee.
This your world is beautiful Lord.
It's beautiful, I can't lie.
It's majestic, I can't bear it.
It's lovely, lovely, It's beautiful beyond my words.
Beautiful beyond my wisdom.
