Heaven and Earth.

On Earth

We suffer

The society of men:

We work.

We struggle.

We strive.

We compete.

We serve corrupt masters.

We surrender to fear.

We condone the waging of perpetual war.

And ignore the plight of the world's most poor.


But Heaven and Earth

Are full of God's Glory!

Golden wattles bloom.

Majestic clouds drift on high.

Mighty mountains touch the sky.

Fathomless seas surround our land.

Everywhere green plants abound.

A garden world with flowers crowned.

Rapid rivers run.

We bask in Summer sun.

We welcome Winter rains.

Quietly we sit in peace.

Forgetting our world's pains.

And pray humbly for forgiveness

For all the world's disdain.
