“God is kinda boring!”
I heard the young man say.
And I wondered at our message
Which made him feel that way.
Do our orchestrated lessons
Reveal or conceal His Glory,
Honor, strength, and wisdom,
The wonder of His story?

The Sculptor of deep canyons,
And Painter of the skies,
Maestro of all music,
Composer of lark’s cry…
Conductor of the thunderstorm,
Source and Designer of creation,
Dreamer of the rainbow’s arc,
Architect of every nation!


“God is simply irrelevant!”
I heard the Academic rebuff.
And I marveled at the void
Of a live without hope or trust.
Where love, faith, right and wrong,
Are held as empty conceits,
Ideals can have no anchor
But drown in unbelief.

Oh, Author of all languages,
Instructor of all knowing,
Mathematician, Physicist,
First Gardener of all that’s growing…
From anthropology to zoology,
All that is seen, or felt, or heard,
Atomic to astronomic
Begun with just one word!


“God has been replaced!”
I heard the politician preach.
Supposing that man could control
Things placed outside his reach.
Sinfulness exalted,
Righteousness ridiculed,
God’s laws met with scorn,
His word is over-ruled.

Eternal God and King!
Judge of all mankind!
Great Warrior in battle,
Outside both space and time!
Ruler of all beings,
Of earth and heaven above,
Administrator of justice,
Your name is Truth and Love.

God Is Who He Is,
Beginning and the End,
Alpha and Omega,
Master, Father, Friend.
Mere words can never express
His Grace and Majesty
Whose Presence fills the heavens,
Yet stoops for one like me.
