Witness To Evolution
I would help man evolve toward God’s Dreams for this life
And not strive just for mites (some ascribe to have worth?)
(In God’s Will) let us humbly trust Grace is God’s Gift
To a sinner who can’t save himself, find our pride
In Christ’s death on the cross! True Grace lived in God’s soul
Long before time began, the Big Bang, Word made flesh
Voiced first verse, praised in song, watched creation evolve!
Life emerged from the soup of our trembling sea womb.
Is it ‘faith’ we possess that won’t question itself?
(Though no man groks God’s Glory and lives! Tells the tale!)
I don’t need you to love me, to make me a wife
(‘Joined at hip’ as they say) but to honor the earth
We all share. Those who go it alone float adrift,
Lost in space they inhabit, perhaps can’t abide
Thoughts that they might be wrong, the Samaritan’s goal
To let faith be what saves. Let’s consider afresh
Acts that give some hearts pause (give death’s tomb
Too much deference!) Clearly, in life, there’s a gulf.
But to have-nots (not haves) truth appears a white whale!
Does your vanity whisper God’s mind’s His affair?)
Once though Hydrogen gas was the engine of choice
As first stars formed, ignited, aged, burned up this gas
The next elements blossomed, as if from desire.
Gravitation evolved, too (as change prospered change).
Soon the ash of spent suns also found a new place.
Star’s waste now we call planets, these ‘wandering ones’
Are seen drifting ‘cross fixed stars, while orbiting theirs.
While the whole mess disperses, increased speed at bounds.
Once the oceans held life (with the landmasses bare)
Till some finned folk moved shoreward. God gave them a voice
As to where they might live? Or survival ‘takes brass?’
(The first landlubbers won edge in what would transpire.)
Was one dino egg saved on earth’s omelet range?
Or did Adam and Eve then evolve to lose face?
You think Noah’s son’s wives loved the ark tons and tons
When their families drowned? Did God’s son praise soft chairs?
Let me pray to stay humble while making my rounds!
