                                       Where you there

Bounteous earth, golden sand,

 Mighty Ocean - Rocky land.

Did you hear him say, let there be" Light”?

 As He made the Sun to shine?

 Ordained the dark of night?

As he fixed the planets orbits, when he set the seasons right,

 Were you there to watch him sow? the grass, the flower, the tree?

 Did you watch the first time ever?

The moon rose ov’er the sea?

 Did you see the clouds ablaze? in the sunset's glow?

Were you there to see God's hand, so very long ago?

 Did you see the first of creatures?

 Roaming o’er the land?

 Were you there to see him breathe? the first breath into man?

 Did you hear him as he taught? without faith man would fall?

 Tell me rocks, earth, sand and oceans,

 Did you witness all?

 thus, our world in endless motion?

Ever more moves on, generations come and go

In this our earthly home, Earth alone remains to see

   The threads that weave eternity.
