ACTS OF CREATION

(by Catherine Faber)

	You can tell it on the mountain, in the valley far below,
	But you needn't tell the craftsmen what they already know,
	From the author at her keyboard, to the woodwright at his lathe
	Every act of creation is an act of faith!

From the rancher mending fences with the wire she has found,
To the farmer on his tractor putting seed-corn in the ground,
In this world of hate and anger, when it's easy to destroy,
Every act of creation is an act of joy!

	You can tell it on the mountain ...

So we work on art and music, though we know it will be flawed.
Yet in striving to do better, we are reaching out to God.
We are reaching for perfection, and it's not beyond our scope:
Every act of creation is an act of hope.

	You can tell it on the mountain ...

Though you work with words or music, living things, or stone or glass,
If you don't love what you're making, it will never come to pass.
From the paintings of a child, to the works of God above,
Every act of creation is an act of love.

	You can tell it on the mountain ...
