Naturally Respectful

Above all, let's respect Nature,
It's God's gift, a divine structure;
The heavens declare His glory,
In His wisdom founded the earth
And wrought the miracle of birth,
His creation tells his story;
Above all, let's respect nature,
It's God's gift, a divine structure.

With faith His love we understand,
In need if we but seek His hand,
The heavens declare His glory,
His creation tells His story;
Above all, let's respect nature,
It's God's gift, a divine structure.

So true, so true, many times I think we would be much better off globally without the Abrahamic concept of the 'dominion of man' Shamanic cultures rever God in nature and every tree, stone, animal, insect is seen as being part of the body of the higher power with EQUAL value. - They do not own the earth or the animals & plants on it.

I think it's a good try. I would not use so much repetition of one phrase over and over though.
