I’m called to be an artist of the land

Only by the Grace of God’s Mighty hand,

I work his fields to care for my own

I’m honored to call this farmstead my home.

His crops spring before my eyes

As I take off my gloves and look at the sky,

For I know the miracles he generously sends

To feed this family as His wishes intend.

I care for his animals as if they are mine

I’m honored to do the work, oh yes, so divine,

I give thanks for all the rain

For these waters may grow His grain.

I hear the Lord calling to farm this ground

I believe in my mission blessings abound,

His miracle surrounds me with fields so lush

Yes, I painted the land with a master’s brush.
