Today... 'Firstborn Over All Creation' Poem by Roy Allen

Today... 'Firstborn Over All Creation'



Displaying supremacy over all His foes
when bursting up from the grave the Firstborn arose.
The power of death vanquished and hell was subdued
and His kingdom the new creation shall include.

Beyond all thrones and powers His reign transcending
and authorities before His lordship bending.
All things have been created for His good pleasure
and the extent of His kingdom we cannot measure.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Colossians 1: 15-18
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.

The Bible calls You by many names
each one giving a glimpse of Your glory.
Like a cut diamond radiating in the sun
with every facet depicting an aspect
of Your Divine Nature.
Today I have thought of You as
'The Firstborn over all creation'
