God's Earth
I love the earth I walk on,
I love the God above,
I love the grace He giveth,
for the Earth is not enough.
I love the friends he gave me,
I love to be with them,
I love the way He set free
their spirit souls to Him.
For souls he freely giveth,
as summers seed sown,
watered by grace and love,
soon a tree be grown.
Nested deep as knowledge eternal,
toeing down for life,
finding but food and water,
in a weak and faithless strife.
Stretching up to heaven
with branches pleadingly open,
competing against its brethren,
green glistening hands a-hoping.
