In silence testify—
Someone formed this grand array—
How could one dare deny
The witness of the sky?
Every nation under sun
Can scan the evidence;
Language known to everyone
Speaks simple commonsense,
Cries out—Intelligence!
Man, you are without excuse
If you His works deny
If some bankrupt theory choose
Spurn testament on high
For evolution’s lie.
Day and night’s familiar sights
Can dull our feeble minds
Apathy becloud the Light
Until the darkness blinds
To seasons, times and signs.
Dark and light highlight our plight
Contrasting bad and good
A manifest in black and white
Meant to be understood
If only mankind would.
Beware a dreadful night to come!
Beware the light that lies!
The unobservant will succumb
To the ‘Liar’ in disguise
But he won’t fool the wise.
God’s own await eternal day,
All those who’ve seen the Light;
He comes to catch them all away
Beyond the reach of night—
This is my soul’s delight.
Scripture References:
Ps. 19:1-3.The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech and night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard. NKJV.
Jer. 31:35-36.Thus says the Lord, Who gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and stars for a light by night, Who disturbs the sea and its waves roar (the Lord of hosts is His name): "If these ordinances depart from before Me, says the Lord, the the seed of Israel shall also cease from being a nation before Me forever," NKJV.
Rom. I:20-22. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise they became fools, NKJV.
Accept Jesus as Your Savior Right Now and be Certain of Eternal Life.
