Man in All his Glory

Oh how mighty and great
man's creations be.
He created automobiles, trains and airplanes
and ships that sail the seas!
Oh what divers intellect
that man does possess,
He makes one or many; science, history, psychology
or other sundry subjects as his best.

Man's triumphs would be wondrous indeed
if it weren't compared to God's.
Oh how excellent is our Lord
for he created man from sod!
Of setting the planets 'round the sun in orbit
no simple man can boast
And barely can he understand
DNA or Plasmodium in a mosquito
Funny then, how o're trifling
accomplishments we exclaim
When God in seven simple days did
this vast universe ordain...
