Poetry for the Glory of God

Weep for the passing days gone by
Cry out for the birds that fill the sky
And the creatures that swim in the deepest sea
And the beasts that walk the whole world free
But weep most of all for us, we man
For we are the ones who are forever damned
For our crimes that went against God above
The One Who’s purity and love
Created us all and gave us life
With no trouble, pain, or strife

But, lo, from above, what Light I see
Is it true that You have died for me?
God of Heaven, God of Light
God of Earth that gave me sight
Mercy tender, pure, and true
Tell me, Lord, what You’d have me do
Yet I can not help but weep
For your dying, drowning sheep
Who still reject You; I can only pray
That You will guide them to Thee today

God save us from our selfish ways
Before we leave you for all our days!
