God’s eternity and trinitarian nature

Primary source of all existence –
no beginning, and no end –
God, unique, of such importance:
soon, we’ll better comprehend
his abilities and essence,
and authoritative presence.

He is One, but Son and Father
and the Spirit – Trinity:
perfectly they work together,
harmony and unity.
Inexpressible, in awe,
we believe, bow and adore.

God the Father asked his Son to
leave the glory, peace above.
Glad submission – scourging borne to
rescue us – what price such love?
Son delighting to obey,
though divine in every way.

Complementary, not inferior,
though their labour’s not the same;
Son submitting to his Father,
with no discontent, or shame:
single purpose, plan and goal:
happy with each other’s role.

Look! and see how beautiful
is every flower you’ve found,
and how complicated are
the insects in the ground.
Someone very clever
made the things we see around:
He is our Teacher for ever.

No BANG! nor luck, could ever make a snail;
A BANG! and luck, could not design a whale;
and a billion years weren’t needed –
God had made his plan:

He is our Teacher for ever.

Macro-Evolution?

(Romans 1:20 1 Timothy 6:20)
I look at a flower or feather,
I look at the fish in the seas:
my heart says there’s Someone far greater –
Designer, Creator of these.

I look at a small protozoa,
I look at an animal’s brain:
I’m filled with amazement and wonder –
such intricate detail again!

Examining cellular structure,
activity under control,
a complex molecular picture –
our minds can’t encompass it all.

I look at the laws of statistics,
and cannot see ‘chance’ as the cause;
I notice that thermodynamics
defines two significant laws.

The rocks and the fossils I ponder,
and look at the stars in the skies:
those people who don’t want a Ruler,
inadequate theories devise.

Great changes there’ve been, devolution,
catastrophe, change that was vast
of climate and fossilization,
and that in the quite recent past.

Some theories demand many aeons,
presumptions, much data  ignored;
we weren’t there to make observations:
test both what they say, and God’s Word.

There’s nothing to contradict Scripture, –
the words of the God who was there;
the studies of science and nature
his power and justice declare.

I’m filled with amazement and wonder,
for all is so complex and grand.
There’s nothing to contradict Scripture –
creation was skilfully planned.
