(Verse 1) In the Book of Genesis, a story's told Of a loving Creator, a world of green and gold He spoke the light from the darkness, called the waters to the sea Laid the mountains down in majesty, for all the world to see (Chorus) He looked upon the garden, watched the rivers flow Saw the birds above the firmament, the seeds that He did sow And when He made His children, the last thing He would do He looked at them and said, "Now listen... would you please?" (Verse 2) The deer still drink from the clear creek, the eagles ride the sky And the old oak tree still stands so tall, as the seasons pass on by We were given hands to build with, voices raised in song But did we forget the reason, where it all belongs? (Chorus) He looked upon the garden, watched the rivers flow Saw the birds above the firmament, the seeds that He did sow And when He made His children, the last thing He would do He looked at them and said, "Now listen... would you please?" (Bridge) He didn't make a kingdom just to be our own He built a sacred trust from a humble stone He made the lion and the lamb, the fish and the deep blue sea Then He trusted us with everything, with a hope that we would be Caretakers of His love, guardians of His grace A mirror of His mercy, in this very place (Chorus) He looks upon the garden, sees the rivers flow Sees the birds above the firmament, the seeds that He did sow And when He made His children, the last thing He would do He looks at us and says, "Oh, my children... would you please?" [Outro] Would you please... take care of all that I have made?
