On our knees we pray to heaven above,
\nAs we fear the hell that’s below.
\nWith the earth in between, to us then it seems,
\nThat it’s here where these poles ebb and flow.<\/p>\n
Our Father: he dwells in Heaven most high.
\nWe his Children: hence fallen by birth.
\nFrom exile we yearn for salvation-bestowed,
\nAs we gaze up to Heaven from Earth.<\/p>\n

\nPlanet<\/em> Earth amidst infinite space?
\nThose glorious heavens we’ve seen overhead,
\nAren’t different, appart-from<\/em> this place.<\/p>\n
\nA space trillions of galaxies vast.
\nSo if fallen we are, where from did we depart?
\nTo what ground can the mind not trespass?<\/p>\n
\nIf not here? And then what need to rue?
\nFor if all Creation is the Creator himself:
\nIn the Creation, The Creator, is You.<\/p>\n
