From Innocent Lips

 

 

Little boy.

 


He was just a little lad, 

 


and on the week's last day. 



He was wandering home from Sabbath School, 



and dawdling on the way. 



He scuffed his shoes into the grass; 



he found a caterpillar; 



He found a fluffy milkweed pod, 



and blew out all the "filler." 



A bird's nest in a tree o'er head 



so wisely placed on high, 

 


Was just another wonder 

 


that caught his eager eye. 

 


A neighbor watched his zigzag course, 

 


and hailed him from the lawn; 

 


Asked him where he'd been that day, 

 


and what was going on. 

 


"I've been to Bible school," he said, 

 


and turned a piece of sod. 

 


He picked up a wiggly worm and said, 

 


"I've learned a lot of God." 

 


"M'm a very fine way," the neighbor said, 

 


"for a boy to spend his time." 

 


If you'll tell me where God is, 

 


I'll give you a brand new dime." 

 


Quick as a flash his answer came! 

 


Nor were his accents faint. 

 


"I'll give you a dollar, Mister, 

 


if you'll tell me where God ain't!" 

 

 

 

Romans 1:20 

 

For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God
