Today... 'The Creator' Poem by Roy Allen

Each sub atomic particle
sprang into being at your call.
You formed the greatest galaxy
when You spoke the words 'Let there be'

All things You have created Lord
by Your powerful spoken word.
In You all things are kept in harmony
Without You Lord, nothing would be.

Creator of the universe
Your creation is so diverse
Things immeasurable to man
are measured by You in a span

In this scale of diversity
such smallness and immensity.
Somewhere in between them fits man
who is central in Your great plan.

When You created man dear Lord
it was not by Your spoken word.
Instead You knelt upon the ground
gathered the dust into a mound.

Knitted atoms together there
forming man with such tender care.
There as the lips of God met his
life then entered him with a kiss.

Fearfully and wonderfully
man was made for heaven to see.
There in the garden with You walked
man in fellowship with God talked.

But sin entered creation Lord
as Adam disobeyed Your Word.
The wages of sin was declared
how could Adam ever be spared?

But God already had a plan
that would forgive the sins of man
On a cross His Son was to bare
The wrath of God as He hung there.

Through sacrifice the price He paid
the wages of sin on Him laid.
'Father Forgive them' was His Cry
as there He bowed His head to die.

A new creation has begun
of which Christ is the firstborn Son.
Man is reborn through sacrifice
when he puts his trust in Jesus Christ.

Born again by God's Spirit
eternal life to inherit.
Transformed into new life in You
new creation begins anew.

'It is done', Jesus will then say
for the old things have passed away
and the new heaven shall appear.
There's no more death or mourning here.

There we shall be with Jesus there
free from all sorrow and despair.
All of our tears God will erase
and heaven will be filled with praise.
