Re-Creation

Beyond all things was God the Word

From the void of eternity

Time and space in creation heard

The Voice speaking infinitely.

Spirit of God on the waters

Divine Word of life in the night

“Creatio ex nihilo”

Father said “Let there be light!”

You divided light from darkness

You split the first atom to say

How we should separate evil

And distinguish the night from day.

Lord, you brought chaos to order

Your great Wisdom cushioned the deep

Recording a holy cosmos

Awakening formless sleep.

You placed the orbits and quasars

Winding the clock into time

The coherence behind the laser

The reason within the rhyme.

You bring pure joy out of sadness

You still bring life out of breath

Sanity in human madness

Gladdening sorrowing death.

The real hub in revolution

The one who planted the Tree

Adam and Eve-lution

The One who caused things to be.

The Great Mover pushed the button

Silence before seraphim sang

Infinite God formed the finite

The Big One made the Big Bang.
