The Ecology Lyrics by Marvin Gaye

I love this song by Marvin Gaye. He wrote it in 1971, although it fits what is happening all over our globe right now.
I miss Bruce a lot when it comes to blogging my favorite songs. He and I shared the same interest in music. It was fun to chat with him about artists who were popular in the 70's. I know he would enjoy these lyrics by Marvin Gaye.

Mercy Mercy Me
[the ecology lyrics]

Oh mercy mercy me
Oh things aint what they use to be
No, no
Where did all the blue sky go?
Poison is the wind that blows
From the north, east and south and sea
Oh, mercy mercy me
Oh things aint what they use to be
No, no
Oil washed on the oceans and the seas
Fish full of mercury
Oh, mercy mercy me
Oh things aint what they use to be
No, no
Radiation in the ground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live near by are dying
Oh, mercy mercy me
Things aint what they use to be
What about this over crowded land?
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
My sweet Lord
My sweet Lord
My sweet Lord

I love the earth and the trees and the outdoors more then I love the city.
It might come from being raised in the country and having an entire forest for my back yard.
I played outside all day as a child and played in our nearby creek in the Summer time.
The song brings tears to my eyes.
I want the same things for my grandchildren. I want them to know and love the outdoors as my children did.
It is so important to smell fresh air and the scent of all the Seasons.

Cohen already loves trees. It is one of her words that comes out clear as a bell! She loves to go outside and touch the tree branches and feel the wind in her face.
Natural is healthy and the best thing for her tiny lungs.


I learned a week ago that it is factual that mercury from China is being carried by the wind to our end of the earth. Scientists found it in the soil in th Rocky Mountains.

We can never stop praying for the earth and the sky and doing everything we can to save it.
It is such a gift from our Creator God.

This was on my heart today and I needed to write about it.

God bless.
