Oh, God made the heavens, the stars, and the sea,
Then crafted us all with creativity.
In his grand image, we’re made to create,
To build, to imagine, to innovate.
Where does it come from, this wild, wondrous spark?
Does it burst in the light or ignite in the dark?
Is it born from a need? Is it shaped by a plan?
Or maybe it’s found by the mind of a man.
Post-it Notes stick to the fridge with some flair.
Computers are buzzing in homes everywhere.
At first, they seemed silly, no purpose in sight,
But soon we discovered they worked just right.
Oh, creativity, such a curious sword,
That can build up the good or bring ruin abroad.
It can heal. It can harm. It can bless. It can break.
It can fashion pure gold—or make a terrible fake.
God said, “Here’s life and goodness for you today.
But also, there’s death if you choose the wrong way.”
So what will we choose? To make things that give?
We should create with a heart that helps others to live.
Now faith is the key that unlocks the door.
If you think you can’t create, then you won’t even explore.
But believe that you can, and you’ll soon start to see,
The impossible bends to what can truly be.
“According to faith, let it happen to you.”
Jesus said that, and his words are still true.
Believe you can make it. Do more than just try.
Creativity grows when you reach for the sky.
Some think that their tools are the creatives, instead,
Like computers and gadgets and screens in their head.
But tools are just helpers. They shouldn’t replace
The creative design that God’s put in your space.
So use them with wisdom, not as a crutch.
When you think for yourself, you accomplish so much.
Now God can use random, surprising things too—
But he loves when his children create something new.
When with creative people, your skills start to grow.
You’re sharpened by others. That’s how we all glow.
In community’s circle, we rise and we learn.
We spark one another. Our hearts start to burn.
Creativity’s not repetitious assembly with glue.
No, it’s loving and serving in ways that are new.
It’s finding solutions that no one else sees,
And growing in faith on adventurous seas.
Just give it to God, every craft, every plan,
And he will establish the work of your hand.
Your painting, your writing, your stories, your song—
Are best as God guides while you walk along.
The truth, dear friend, is clear as can be.
Creativity’s gift is for you and for me.
It’s precious. It’s priceless. Let’s make this our goal:
To steward it wisely with our heart and soul.
So ask him today, in the work that you do:
“Lord, help me be creative in ways that please you.”
Perhaps the best gift, when it’s all said and done,
Is to joyfully seek to create with the Son.
