Following God

All nature follows God except for man,
all nature bows in vast obedience,
but we are free to vary from His plan,
though to obey does make a lot of sense.

The sunflower wakes and opens up in awe,
it follows God in following the sun,
the fawn partakes in following God's law,
and both obey to rest when day is done.

To help us follow Him, God gives us light,
to read my heart His writ of right and wrong;
from fallen earth we're supposed to rise to right,
and see the wrong as Satan's siren song.

O God, I pray that I obey You free,
so I'll be free for all eternity.
