Though Grace is Shown (Original Christian Song: Robin Calamaio)

The natural, moral nature of man ... is a real problem. God, though His Word, discusses this from many angles with many real life examples. To understand what sin has done to us (and the condition in which it places us) is not only of tremendous personal importance, but it then forcefully impacts how we view and deal with all relationships we have - in our immediate circles outward to all areas of human endeavor. That includes all science and invention, all governance and safety protocols, and all evangelistic procedure and priorities.
This song touches a base concept of man's natural state before God

WHO: Music: Robin Calamaio. Lyrics: Bible: Isa 26:10, Isa 32:6a, Eccl 10:14a, Eccl 10:13, Ps 74:20, Pr 14:22 & Isa 32:8.
WHAT: Standard Tuning, Acoustic 12 string guitar.
WHEN: Originally Feb 17, 1983. I edited the lyrics pretty extensively in July 2023.
WHERE: Clayton Manor Apts in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
WHY: I was probably in a somewhat melancholy mood when I came up with the tune and the basic lyrics then just seemed to fall in place. I wish I had taken more notes about all my songs as they germinated. It would probably have served me well now as I would be able to "perceive the Majesty of the Lord" - as He led me in all this - if indeed His hand has been in this with me. I hope at the Judgment He will reveal to me all the things He did in nudging me through this life - great and "small" actions on His part. It will cause me to fall on my face in worship. That is a good thing I do not think He will withhold.

Photo 2: Three crosses in a Kentucky field. 2022. Natural man normally misses God's common grace (creation) and God's special, saving grace culminating in the cross (the crosses in the photo). Oblivious.
Photo 3: Fiery winter sky near Oakland, KY. 2023. Man's ways are on fire
Photo 4: Just a little Ky wildflower.
Photo 5: Lakewood Ranch, Fl, 2022. Man's way is on a broken path, surrounded by a tangled mess, and any straying from even a broken path finds you entangled in brush with myriads of lethal lurking dangers.
Photo 6: Me at Bierstadt Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park near Estes Park CO, Sept 2022. I am standing on a rock (The Rock) with the majesty of God in water, land and sky in my view - as I seek to plan noble things to show Him how much I appreciate His past, present and future activities towards me. I hope you will do the same.
Photo 7: Backyard sky Bowling Green, Ky. 2022. Back to man's ways again. Unstable and red.
Photo 8: Rocky Mountain National Park April 2022.Walking along like Bigfoot. A beast who doesn't perceive God's majesty ... when it is all around him!
Photo 9: One of my top photos of all time, April 2022 Rocky Mountains. God's majesty stands alone.
