Made in the Image of God / You Cant Milk a Bull
God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth - Genesis 1:27-28
From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands. God intended that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us - Acts 17:26-27
Made in the Image of God
I am human; I’m no beast.
I’m no animal to say the least.
I am made in the image of God.
I am human it isn’t odd.
I am human that’s how God made me.
A human I’m proud to be.
I am a man whose name is Cam.
I am a man that’s what I am.
I play football; I have facial hair.
I am a man, I am aware.
I am a man that’s how God made me.
A man I am proud to be.
I am a woman, whose name is Bree
I am a woman, can you not see?
I paint my nails; I wear a dress.
To look good, I try my best.
I am a woman that’s how God made me.
A woman I am proud to be.
I am black that’s okay
I’m not brown, white, red, yellow, or gray
I am black that’s how God made me.
Being black I’m proud to be.
I am brown that’s okay
I’m not black, white, red, yellow or gray.
I am brown that’s how God made me.
Being brown I’m proud to be.
I am white that’s okay
I’m not black, brown, red, yellow, or gray.
I am white that’s how God made me.
Being white I’m proud to be.
I am red that’s okay
I’m not black, brown, white, yellow or gray.
I am red that’s how God made me.
Being red I’m proud to be.
I am yellow that’s okay;
I’m not brown, white, black, red or gray.
I am yellow that’s how God made me.
Being yellow I’m proud to be.
I am gray, that’s okay.
I wouldn’t want to be any other way.
I am gray that’s how God made me.
Being gray, I’m proud to be.
Everyone is different, it isn’t odd;
we all are made in the image of God.
You Cant Milk a Bull
I am a rooster my name is Sam.
I am a rooster, that’s what I am.
I can’t lay eggs, I am not a hen.
I am a rooster I’ll say that again.
I’m proud to be a rooster, that’s how God made me.
A rooster I’m proud to be.
I am a hen my name is Pam.
I am a hen, that’s what I am.
I lay eggs; I produce the farmer food.
I am not a rooster, I must conclude.
I’m proud to be a hen, that’s how God made me.
A hen I’m proud to be.
I am a bull my name Graham.
I am a bull that’s what I am.
I can’t produce milk, I am not a cow.
You say I can become one I don’t see how.
I’m proud to be a bull that’s how God made me.
A bull I’m proud to be.
I am a cow my name is Fran.
I am a cow that’s what I am.
I produce milk for the farmer to drink.
I’m not a bull, you better rethink.
I’m proud to be a cow that’s how God made me.
A cow I’m proud to be.
Gender does matter; you may think what I’m saying is cruel,
but you can’t get eggs from a rooster, nor can you milk a bull.
