   6-8 A voice says, "Shout!"

   I said, "What shall I shout?"

   "These people are nothing but grass,

   their love fragile as wildflowers.

   The grass withers, the wildflowers fade,

   if God so much as puffs on them.

   Aren’t these people just so much grass?

   True, the grass withers and the wildflowers fade,

   but our God’s Word stands firm and forever."
