Everlasting As Creation
The vast oceans looked small
from the outer-space;
and they were as blue as our sky above!
The survivors of the Flood
astonishingly watched...
the swift flight of a gentle dove,
lay an olive branch
in the palms of his trembling hands
that greeted the first rainbow:
that was the promise that God made to Noah!
Everlasting as creation is the God
we should proclaim in our relentless faith;
He existed before this universe was void!
From the mud He created the first man,
and with his own breath he gave him life;
and when He realized he was alone...
from one of his ribs He made the first woman!
And they happily walked in a paradise,
which knew neither pain or death;
how delightfully they lied down to rest!
We can put the blame on the ruler of Hell,
when we're overtaken by temptation and neglect
godliness as our primary need
and lose that privilege,which was intended
as a blessing; and like
our ancestors,we are easily deceived by the Devil:
displaying a false image that
can't make us powerful and wise!
Everlasting as creation is the God
who still loves us endlessly;
and sees the misery and unhappiness
of this faithless human-race
that has no unshakable trust...
refusing to carry the flaming torch,
and won't sing the warm praises of a hymn!
We can't live so unruly and defiantly,
and expect to reap an abundant harvest;
let's seek out the true God of our existence!
