Today... 'The Alpha And Omega' Poem by Roy Allen

Today... 'The Alpha And Omega'



The Alpha and Omega is Your great name.
The Beginning and the End, forever the same.
There before the dawning of life upon the earth.
And at the end You will be, at creations new birth.

Written in this book of Revelation for all to see
is a message to the churches telling of what will be.
The Water of life is given that will surely satisfy
for those who thirst and come will never be passed by.

We hear these words from the First and the Last
as time concludes and history fades into the past.
'It is done, behold all things are now made new, '
and the new heaven and earth burst into view.

At the commencement of that great Eternal Day
when the ages of earth have faded and passed away.
Then the One who is the Beginning and the End
will be this poor persons Saviour and Eternal Friend.
