My Journey to God

The Creator’s Love

What are your thoughts, oh little bird?
Do you also know his holy word?
Do you comprehend his loving care
As you gracefully soar in the air?
His living arms enfold you, too.
If one tiny sparrow falls, he weeps for you.

What are your thoughts, oh little deer?
Do you feel his perfect love for you out here?
As you daintily drink from forest pond
Do you know his love without bound?
As you stand in meadow’s early dew
The Creator’s love is seen in you.

What are your thoughts, oh little babe?
Do you know for you, his life he gave?
You lie there so innocent and pure.
For you he did the cross endure.
Each and every little one he does love.
He smiles at you from heaven above.
