Matthew 2:1-2

Even the stars speak, declaring the glory of God and the coming of the gospel.

The Omnipotent’s voice
leaves no room for choice.

It will be heard.
His is the ultimate word.

Creation’s purpose is clear;
to bring the gospel near.

Everything that is
echoes the voice that is His.

His commitment to life,
to defeating sin’s strife,

is total and complete;
unwavering with passion’s beat.

The God of all that is—
Will preach the glory that is His

“Omnipotence has servants everywhere.*”
Their will?  To lay His glory bare.

Even the rocks cry out
shouting what He’s about.

The trees whisper in elegance,
declaring glory with holy reverence.

The wind and water,
Fowl and otter,

land, sea, and heavens
cry out with perfect sevens; 

declaring Infinite’s glory;
Telling His resplendent story. 

Were men never to speak again,
His glory—still—would be scribed in brightest pen.

The gospel will not be silent;
All creation will be spent

to declare His worth
and bring us joy’s endless mirth!
