CREATURES of THE KING

All creatures of the seas and oceans

Live in an underwater world we cannot see;

And the beasts of deserts and fields

All depend upon God to feed adequately.

Each one roams a vast expanse of sea or land;

Each lives and breathes as God has planned.

Birds of the air flying here and there

Seem not to have a worry, a fret nor a care

They hunt for twigs to build a nest

for their tiny babies to rest

Finding food is their continual quest

The provision of which is

God-Blessed.

Respecting the creatures God has made

We treat them with kindness and care;

Some are fierce and strikingly fearsome

We ought not impose upon them nor dare.

The world is big enough for ev'ry living being

When we realize this ~ we are truly seeing.

God made all creatures, some mammoth, some small;

He made some animals short and some He made tall.

From the tiny ant crawling in the dirt

With the ostrich his head to insert

And the Giraffe with neck so long

To God almighty they all belong.

And so we, too, are creatures of The King

Our repentant souls to Him we bring

To Him forever after we long to cling

Praise and Worship songs to Him we sing.

We all are creatures of The King!
