In Charge

God made the mountains wonderful to see,
and He pronounced them "very good" at birth,
but He did not put rocks in charge of me,
for God put me in charge of all the earth.

A little less than angels God made man,
then destined us for Him eternally,
God gave the flowers more beauty in His plan,
but He did not put flowers over me.

Some worship earth and rocks and flowers more
than God, Who made us and then set us free
to nature, wealth, and worldly things adore,
but God does not love those things more than me.

Lord, I’ll take care of all of Your creation,
but I will not forget my destination.
