My Mandate

I stood in the quiet meadow
And observed the hand of God,
I saw His dsign in the petal
Of life He instilled in the son.
Birdsong gave me pleasure
The sun was warm overhead
All His creatures were happy,
Who seek His hand to be fed.

In the restful quiet of the wild
As the seasons come and go;
He taught me there as a child,
Of His wisdom, manifold

Go out, He said to my spirit
Into the world of men;
With all you learned from the quiet land
And share My love with the pen.

My glory is seen the world around
In the beauty of the land;
That men can know My love abounds,
And turn to seek My hand.

What may be known about God is plain to you, because God has made it plain to you,  for since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - His eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.   Romans 1:19
