7I cause light to shine. I also create darkness.

I bring good times. I also create hard times.

I do all of those things. I am the Lord.

8“ ‘Rain down godliness, you heavens above.

Let the clouds shower it down.

Let the earth open wide to receive it.

Let freedom spring to life.

Let godliness grow along with it.

I have created all of those things.

I am the Lord.’ ”
