MY WORLD, by                    
First Line: God gave my world to me
Last Line: And lo, my world is great!
Subject(s): God; Religion; Theology


God gave my world to me,
And I rebelliously
Cried out, "How small!
And is this all?"
His words were sad, yet mild:
"All that you love, my child."

Myself that moment died,
And born anew I cried:
"Love, take control
And lead my soul
To serve my small estate;"
And lo, my world is great!
