God gives me blood and cartilage and ears,
the miracles that move an animal,
but then He gives me laughter, talk and tears,
and I am not an animal at all.
Then He does more with His creative will,
He adds my reason, will and soul to me,
His God-like image He gives me until
my life is ready for eternity.
He gives me knowledge, grace and talent too,
then His sweet skill of love for me to share,
in Scripture His own Revelation true,
it seems almost too much for me to bear.
O God, You've vested me with all I am,
the least that I can do is give a damn.
