Alive By Design

The earth is a living thing oh yes indeed, alive by design
the earth was made to glorify and worship the Lord.
This is not merely some ancient misguided folklore or notion.
The air... the lungs we use to breath.  The water is teaming
with life beneath its depths.  The land itself is a fertile field,
a place where all life does grow.
The Lord has graciously placed His seed of the Spirit upon us,
so that all of man may know that all of this wonder, this wonder
of life is by His design.  That by Jesus' death and resurrected life
we may have the gift of this continuous miracle.
All I ask is that you have a deep sincere heart, ears to hear and a
mind to follow instructions that our Heavenly Father sets before us.
Be good and kind to the land; the beasts, the fishes of the water
and the creatures and the birds of the air.
Don't throw trash upon the land or pollute the air.  Be kind to one
another and let them know you really care!
Look deep inside yourself to make sure that there is a personal
heaven inside your being so that one day soon, we can be beside
our King that will come back to take up the Lordship of His lands.
So what kind of stewards are we? God does take an interest in 
these things!
