Being Human

B eautiful creatures in the image of God, we
E xtoll the virtues of a glorious past, just as we are
I ntrigued with man's genius and wit and look in the mirror at the
N obility of man in his finest hour - since through
G enerational renewal, we'll always see humanity's best traits

H oning our skills to better the Earth, we learn to
U nderstand the world as we learn to understand ourselves, always
M aking the most of Earth's precious gifts, while
A ssuming our stewardship in God's Kingdom on Earth,
N ever ignoring God's reason for man
