God Spoke Light - 3

God spoke Light
suddenly, Bang
the instant changed
the beginning of time
Nothingness before
nothing at all

God spoke Light
suddenly, bang
a switch turned on
beginning some how
Nothing before
from nothingness Light
spoken by God
in power and might

Was the Big Bang Spoken

Was the Light from the waters
the instant of Creation
the voice of the Creator
over the waters
Was the Big Bang spoken
was this the Word Light
did all come into place

Compatible with Pangaea

The Creation story
in the Beginning
Light could be the Big Bang
coming into existence
Spoken by God

Light from the darkness
the nothingness
coming in an instant
of amazing power, flight

Compatible with Pangaea
with a single ocean, dry land
spoken into being
by the hand of God

His Spirit over the waters
the movement of the land
the waters like a flood
filling the basin for them
by the hand of God

Acknowledging a Creator

The dates of the creation
whether a day or thousands
a week or by epochs
in millions of years

The important thing
acknowledging a Creator

Formed from his hand
created by his word
in the likeness, in the image

The plural nature of God

not one being, the Father
in the words of creation
in our image created
by our nature, in our likeness
all the words of power
let there be light
spoken in the plural
to be in the likeness of God
the image of the divine
the Spirit over the waters
the Word alive with him
all coming into being
by his hand we were made
in the likeness of God
in the living Word

making dry ground bright
the animals, the plants
everything in God’s sight
offered for his glory

A Vegan World

The idea of no meat eaters
not man, not the Robin
no struggle for survival
no predators on the earth

all very good

Before Christ breathed his last
a final prayer to God
breathed into the world
falling down on us
A prayer of trust
of submission to God
having given over his body
He gave God his soul.

Christ speaks through us

Commissioned to be his voice
his hands in the world
to be the feet that carry
the message we are restored
Christ speaks through us
throughout time
sharing his message through us
God’s grace is sublime

Christ’s Very Last Words

calling us to serve
to be his hands and feet
to go out into the world
He will be with us
because Christ promised us so
Christ’s very last words
to be with us as we go

trusting you completely

far more than my body

for God to come to him

don’t let me fall
gather me in

Christ’s Breath Prayer

The words of the psalm
the ancient words
the musings, the comfort
the turning to you

Christ’s breath prayer
“into your hands
I commit my spirit”,
my Father, my God

At the end of the day
before his last breath
breathing a prayer
trust to the end

in his innermost being
before his last, final word
not to be forsaken,
with God as his refuge
a prayer for deliverance
that God would rescue him quickly
as soon as his breath left him

the ancient signs, the wonders
active in our lives

God is present

We are the witnesses
the heralds, the authors
words of holy scripture
in our testimony now

God is present
he is here with us
answering our prayers

life where he would lead

life in the journey
in following Jesus
life where he would lead
in the journey of faith
love like Jesus
his commandment for us
to love our neighbors
as Christ loves us

life in his way

life in his way
in following Jesus
in reading his Word
the story of Jesus
How God loved us enough
to send us Jesus
how he lived, how he died,
how he rose from the grave
life in his way
in following Jesus
following where he would lead
doing as he did
loving our neighbor
as he loves us
giving our life in service
as did our head

life in his sandals

life in his footsteps
in the sandals of Jesus
walking as he walked
following our Master

Loving as he loves
forgiving our neighbor
seeing all humanity
as our sisters, our brothers

That we may have life in his name

That we may have life
in the name of Jesus
in the skin of our Savior
walking as he walked
That we may have life
life in abundance
that we may share God love
in the name of Jesus

That we might believe

Why these words were written down
the power of these signs
life in the life
in hearing the stories of Jesus
That we might believe
that our lives would be changed
life in the life
in the life of Jesus
