God‘s Gifts
God gave us
this beautiful planet.
And He gave us our eyes,
to see.
And He gave us the power
to save it.
Yes, that power
is in you and in me.
He gave us the air
and the water.
He gave us the fruit
on the tree.
And He gave us power to save them,
Yes, that power
is in you and in me.
He gave us the sun
and the blue sky.
He gave us the fish
in the sea.
Yes, He gave us these things,
but duties, they bring.
Now it’s all up to you,
and to me.
