By Ralph R Roberts

Chapter 1

IN THE BEGINNING TO ETERNITY

God created the physical. The physical attests to the beauty of the creator, as it reflects Him.

We gaze up at the vastness of the universe and see the wonder of its evolving state. We see its rhythm providing us time and the seasons. We see the exemplification of the grace of God through the life, crucifixion, and resurrection of His son, Jesus Christ. We are assured of our glory in His presence one day. Our ascension to witness His kingdom and to worship continually in His presence will come to pass.

We live in hope for the second coming of Jesus Christ when He will gather all that are His to the fold.

1.1 Creation Story

Your word of authority

It will never relent

Till it has accomplished

Exactly as You meant

Your word has gone forth

To create what we see

All that is, just as You wished

Created to tell Your story

A billion celestial bodies

Shooting stars across the skies

Space extending to infinity

Your romping ground described

The stars of the heavens

They all reflect Your glory

Jewels of the night sky

Each a miracle, not denied

Peek-a-boo sun on the horizon

Golden rays on display

Your wonders renewed

With the coming of each day

The rich morning dew

Appears every single day

Not a jot of dry land

But a rejuvenating spray

From the lion to the lamb

To all the birds that ever sang

To everything in the deep

Your creation, what a feat!

The rhythm of the waves

They beat upon the shores

With each coming of high tide

They return to sing Your praise

Trees laden with fruit

Birds atop trees, do group

Cattle on a thousand hills

All confirming Your riches still

The howling of the wind

Stirring all the fallen leaves

Causing them to whirl and twirl

And dance to You. They’re pleased!

Buttercups adorn the fields

Yes, flowers in bloom of every hue

A tapestry revealing Your desire

To bless us with variety

The hum of honeybees

Is a tune of gratitude indeed

For the
