Oh, What Then?

We observe in astonishment

Man’s newest accomplishment

And wonder what will follow

Scientists place

Their cameras in space

As we glimpse infinity’s hollow

Medicine keeps the dying alive

But no matter how we study and strive

We cannot touch the order

Of God-ordained things

Or alter the courses

His authority brings

Mornings will ever succeed the night

Two wrongs will never make a right

We all get older with each passing hour

And none are exempt from His grace or His power

No one can order the rain from the sky

There is no invention so we will not die

We cannot shuffle seasons in nature or man

Or rearrange one molecule of His plan

For He IS God, we are merely men

We are born, we die; and oh, what then?

Perhaps we ought to take a closer look

At His Word and teaching of His Book

For nothing will happen that He has not told

His truths are unfolding since centuries of old

Knowledge is admiral; His gift to men

But if we ignore the Giver; oh, what then?

Outer space images fill me with utter wonderment and awe!

How GREAT is our God.

He has given men the knowledge to glimpse infinity, but we CANNOT add one jot to TIME!

Time is a wee capsule...what then?

Oh, that's right! Eternity.

But His Book shows us the way to Him eternally. He did not leave us as sheep without a Shepherd for He IS love.

Just as I Am- B.J. Thomas
