Origin Poem by Gert Strydom

The great universe as it does exist
with pulsars, stars and nebula do insist
as do the moon at night, the sun at day,
that the great Originator did his power display
and when all of these are in man's sight,
do constantly tell of an omnipotent God's might

and everything upon this earth
do proclaim their origin and their birth,
even do tell of the impact of sin
that did with the fall of man begin

and yet in the heart of reasonable man
self-important he does protest just where he can,
have no comprehension of God's inexplicable ways
while each human's life do run out in numbered days

while still God does create his marvellous designs
do leave of His presence everywhere the signs,
from nothingness brings forth whatever is in His will,
do the whole universe with his great wonders fill.
