Watching Gentle Rain Come Over the Trees

Everything You make is good
Not so, with many plans of man
"Every good gift" comes from You *
But men pay you back with insolence.

And how much does it take, really
To figure out - 
That there truly is no excuse
For people to not listen,
But to blame you -
For the bad and foolish things THEY do.

Yes I know, this world is filled with lies
And propaganda fills the air
Appealing to false pride and wrong desires
Satan's slander of You is everywhere.

But look - there is NO EXCUSE **
Your words that You gave mankind are here
For any to reach out for, as built-in
Surrounded by the powerful works
of Your own Creation.


* (James 1:17)  "Every good gift and every perfect present is from above, for it comes down from the Father of the [celestial] lights"



** (Romans 1:18-32)
