So quiet, so peaceful, so tranquil, so still
The birds sing, a frog croaks, the trees sway at will.
The wind blows, it’s chilly, a bee flutters by.
The clouds look so pretty up there in the sky.
All are GOD’S creations surrounding me here
I feel HIS vast Presence so very near.
Each creek, each cloud, each blade of grass
Created by GOD, an enormous task!
GOD the Master Artist carefully made them all
He loves and cares for each of them, whether big or small
The universe, the land and sea
The animals and even me.
HE planned for man to be happy and live to glorify HIM
But man disobeyed HIS commandment and now lives in sin.
Yet GOD in HIS great love and mercy
Sent HIS Son to die on the tree,
To bear all our sin and iniquity
And give us a chance to serve HIM eternally.
CHRIST paid the debt, we are pardoned
Let us not let our hearts be hardened.
But let’s joyfully, willingly let HIM fully control
Our hearts and lives, our eternal soul.
And truly we’ll find HIS great purpose for us.
For soon, very soon, HE is coming for us.
To take us home with HIM for eternity
Where we will forever HIS glory see!
Written May 1974
