But we can't survive without the air we breathe.
We are totally dependent on nature to be efficient,
Along with fervently praying the Apostle's Creed.
God created and gave us nature,
To sustain us and also for our enjoyment.
From the sun, moon, stars, to the tiniest creatures,
God gives us free will to share in his wonderment.
We can climb mountains or ski down their slopes.
Hike in the forests, surf or scuba dive.
We immerse our hands in the earth to plant and hope,
Praying for a harvest to feed ten thousand and five.
The immensity of nature pales in comparison,
With the immensity of God being hard to grasp.
We stand in awe of majestic mountains like a partisan
Watches how God bends his knee to lift us up at last.
Even when we are immersed in sin,
He offers forgiveness and welcomes us home.
We are called to love God and enter in,
To give thanks and praise, for He never leaves us alone.
