Two Worlds

We have our world that's real and God has His,
can we begrudge a God wanting His own?
We feel our world's the only one there is,
but actually it's only ours on loan.
God made our world to independent be,
yet every rock and tree sings out His praise,
we think we're on our own because we're free,
but free to choose to praise Him all our days.
Since we belong to God, our world's His too,
we and our world are meant to be His friend,
we're free to choose to love our whole life through,
and bring both worlds together in the end.
Help me, O Lord, so long this world endures,
to make my world as wonderful as Yours.
