"God causes all things to grow
Through every season we know.
He will guard the life,
That He's planted in our souls;
And when we feel the cold winds blow,
We'll hold to what we know.
God causes all things to grow.
Words by Steven Curtis Chapman and Steve Green Copyright 1994

G'day Kiwi. I'm from Canada. Interesting song.
I don't want to make a song of praise into theology, but I see nothing wrong with stressing that "God causes all things to grow." Thank God things DO grow. It is a miracle that life is so resilient on this planet!
He is our source. This song gives God the Glory for the things He has done.
"He will guard the life,
That He's planted in our souls;" is a very reasonable trust in His provision, that goes beyond what we can see with our limited human vision.
"And when we feel the cold winds blow,
We'll hold to what we know" is a promise to Him.
All Glory belongs to God! He is faithful.
Romans 8:38-39, “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
blessings,
Michael

well, its obvious that its wrong. Didnt Steven Curtis Chapman take a science class? A bean does not grow because got tells it to, what purpose would the plant world have for photosynthesis if it was god making things grow? God doesnt cause us to grow, food and nutrients do that, and since science can predict the aproximate height based upon your bone structure, i dont think god has anything to do with it, or else we wouldnt be able to predict how tall we would be. And god isnt growing inside of me, i spit him out a while ago, he always left a foul taste.

Well...it's a theological statement, not a scientific one.
That doesn't mean that this contradicts science or vice verse. It's just another way of "knowing' about the universe. Rather than expressing cause and effect relationships like science would, these words express a view of ultimate causation (God).
And that's what I think about this.

ahhh aren't those words sweet, actually if we are discussing herbacious matters, water is first required to stimulate seed growth, then we need a full spectrum of light (the sun is good if growing outdoors) this reacts with the plant and converts co2 to o2 and supports the growing process, also needed are nutrients in the soil or growing medium. must admit i do talk to my plants sometimes but thank you for your suggestion i will sing to them and see if it helps

Nice poem
Love the rhythmic style.
But, in biology we found out exactly what makes things grow and studying meteorology we know what cause the wind.
Not sure about this G bloke - never met him never seen a photo.
Keep up the poetry Bigpathome.

My view? It's poetry, and regardless if it is good poetry or not, it has no more to do with Earth Sciences than "Frosty the Snowman" has to do with Meteorology.

That they should be posted in 'religion`
where they might be enjoyed rather than
here in geology where they constitute
an annoyance.

I think it's true because how did the plant get there in the first place? how did earth get there? it just happened? poof! out of nowhere? i think it's true.....GOD is the one who created everything....

"He will guard the life He has planted in our souls" what is that all about? we receive life when we accept His gift His Son whom He sent to die for us that by placing our faith in Him we might have eternal life.
