God Gave

God gave wind its power The sea all its strength Where the river would run And the distance of its length God gave the paths that thunderclouds sail How much rain will fall Where snow covered mountains will dwell And the sunlight for us all God gave us his companionship To live in harmony with love As his loving children And the Father up above God gave his only son For us to conquer our sin With the gift of the Holy Spirit That lives within God gave us all we need Since man got his start And all God wants in return Is the love in our heart

Thank you Line. St. Francis said spread the gospel and use words if needed. You do that everyday with the love you share with others. God bless you and yours. <3
