6 James Weldon Johnson Quotes on God

James Weldon Johnson quotes on god

17. And God stepped out on space, And He looked around and said, 'I'm lonely- I'll make me a world.'

18. So God stepped over to the edge of the world And He spat out the seven seas; He batted His eyes, and the lightnings flashed; He clapped His hands, and the thunders rolled; And the waters above the earth came down, The cooling waters came down.

19. And God smiled again, And the rainbow appeared, And curled itself around his shoulder.

20. With his head in his hands, God thought and thought, Till he thought: I'll make me a man!

21. This Great God, Like a mammy bending over her baby, Kneeled down in the dust Toiling over a lump of clay Till He shaped it in His own image.

23. Young man-Young man-Your arm's too short to box with God.
