GPP 49: Immensity From Nothing

Ancient Job knew of God’s redemption plan,
Yet no scripture or prophet had e’er been;
His faith in Jesus shows that untaught man
Has no excuse his Creator offend!
The starry skies declare God’s great glory;
Day after day the sun portrays His care*;
No one on earth fails to hear His story—
Nature pours forth speech, yet no words are there!
God launched the Cosmos from absolute void;
All that’s seen and unseen by men today—
Something from nothing—skeptics can’t avoid
A Supreme Being this world did display!
Is there one so dull that in nature sees
Chance its source and men its higher species?

*Psalm 19
