My Lord, There Is Something Sad Poem by Gert Strydom

My Lord, there is something sad
that I want to bring to You
and its clear to me
that You do already know of it
and also about it’s extend.

At the theological seminaries of some universities
there are learned people
who want to find You
with pure logic and ancient research

and now there are some of them that do claim
that You did not rise from the grave.

In my simplicity I do wonder my God,
how people try to find you only in their books
and research
while You do stand outside of everything
and Your own words do determine
all things miraculously
outside the scope and limitation
of human science?

Sadly everything comes to an empty nothing
when there is no relationship with You
and the lives of people do end in nihilism.
