Earth Day
Celebration of the Creation




Dust to dust, and ashes to ashes.
So the drum beat rolls. Few are remembered long after life crashes.



Trees, birds, streams, ponds, rivers and oceans, filled with many creatures.
Continuing on each day as before, groaning and grieving the curse, that haunts this world's shores-



Environmentalists adamant that the resources of this world are in constant turmoil and danger-
Believing they must chain themselves to trees, sabotage logging crews, laughing as they hold tight their unfounded wager.



Earth day, celebrated all around, many a celebration planned.
Plant a tree, plant a garden, save a whale. Yet we look away as yet another human baby to the abortionist is fed.



Worshipping the creation, yet forgetting the creator.
Look around see the mountains, see the oceans, and see the rivers, the animals and more.



Yet it is not the Creator that is given this day, it is the creation.
Earth day, it's coming around once again, have you thought to pray for this nation?



Keep your corner of the world neat and clean in honor of the one who created it all.
But don't be misled, this world will soon melt away, any have not listened to the call.




He's calling for you, he's warning you. This world you see its nothing but a shadow.
The beauty you see it is but a shadow, nothing but a shadow of beauty this world can never know.




Earth day, a day of planting trees, and bushes, a day of laughter it's true.
But this Earth day, perhaps it's time that you take time to plant eternal seeds that will lead many this life through.



Celebrate Earth day, if you must but remember this Earth will soon be lost in a dark past.
This Earth day, lay aside the spade and shovel, and plant a seed that will last.



Give hope to those who are lost.
Remember it wasn't for a stone that He paid the cost.



Dust to dust, and ashes to ashes.
So the drum beat drones on...as another life crashes.



Are you prepared? Do you not know this world is only a temporary stop as we march towards eternity?
Time will soon be no more; the trees we've planted will have withered and died. All who are saved from death will be free...
