Dust

God stooped down in Eden
and there in Eden's clay
The Great LORD God Almighty
began to show the way
to make a thing of nothing
and yet to be the crown
of all the earth's created things,
of all things, the most renown

He shaped this strange
and curious thing
of mater, Oh so low,
then breathed his breath into it.
It came alive, rose up to go
 

But soon forgot
from whence it came,
or why it had been made.

It tried to live without the One
of whom it needed aid.
Because it traded truth for lies
it must learn again in dust
that without God, it still is nothing
and to live, faith is a must.
