The Lord created Heaven,
God also had formed the earth;
Onto man breath was given,
Knowing of what his true worth.
He did not create mindless,
But formed him to inhabit;
And because of His kindness,
Promised we would inherit.
This is what the Lord has said,
“For I am the Lord your God;
Nourishment that I have fed,
When you do honor and laud.”
“I did not speak privately,
Or a dark place of the world;
Nor for to search silently,
As My plan had been unfurled.”
“Do not search for Me in vain,
Because I speak what is fair;
Since lies have nothing to gain,
As compassion shows I care.”
“So come here you refugees,
Carry not wooden idols;
That had been carved from the trees,
And burns as the flame kindles.”
“Speak as to present your case,
Reveal your wrongs from your past;
Repent and confess to erase,
Relieve agony at last.”
“Was it not I, Lord your God?
As your just God and Savior;
Who mends you where you are flawed,
And shines on you with favor.”
“Turn unto Me and be saved,
All who live upon this earth;
Allow not to be enslaved,
And experience rebirth.”
“I bind Myself with a vow,
Every tongue will confess;
As every knee shall bow,
Everything you transgress.”
