GOD GAVE THE EARTH TO MAN
|
|
|
- The earth is the
Lord's, and the fullness thereof ...
- He gave it to man as a gift of His love
- So all men might live as He hoped they would,
- Sharing together all things that were good.
But man only destroyed the good earth of God.
- He polluted the air and ravished the sod,
- He cut down the forests with ruthless disdain.
- And the earth's natural beauty he perverted for
gain.
And now in an age filled with violent dissent,
- Man finds he's imprisoned in his own discontent.
- He has taken the earth that God placed in his care
- And built his own hell without being aware
-
- That the future we face was fashioned by man,
- Who in ignorance resisted God's beautiful plan;
- And what God created to be paradise
- Became by man's lust and perversion and vice.
-
- A cauldron of chaos in a fog of pollution
- To which man can find no cure or solution.
- How far man will go to complete his destruction
- Is beyond a computer's robot deduction.
