There are several statements
Which comprise three words
Significant words indeed:
Most of them you have heard.
“I love you” is one of them
And “Keep it up” is another,
Don’t you dare” and “You’d better not”,
These are two of the others.
“Hurry up child”
Sounds pretty much like a parent
And “Excuse me please”
That’s one’s way of getting clearance.
“Give God praise” and why not?
“Who is he?” as in I want to know,
“Are you saved?” a critical question
And yet another is “Do not go”.
In chapter 1 of Genesis we have
“Let There Be”,
The three words
Upon which hang all the galaxies.
Can you imagine that?
Let there be light
And throughout the entire universe
Light came into sight.
Let there be this
And let there be that,
God simply called it into being
And it became a fact.
I have a little problem, though
With these millions of years
When the Bible simply says
In just six days all appeared.
On day No. 7 God rested
For in six days all was set,
Let there be occurred three times
And there after, it was simply “let”.
Thirteen times in Genesis 1
God uses the word “let”
Three times He said, “Let there be”
And the other ten he said “let”.
Upon God’s “let”, the universe was made:
The galaxies and all within,
It took more than words however,
When God dealt with our sin.
It took the blood of Jesus
God’s precious begotten Son:
An infinite cost to the blessed Trinity
When He purchased our freedom.
“Let there be” was not used
When God had fashioned Adam,
And certainly not with Jesus Christ:
He was fully God yet man.
“Let there be” has its place,
It demonstrates God’s creative power,
Upon these words creation stands
Created in six twenty-four hours.
But there are three more words
Upon which hangs our re-creation
“Father forgive them,” Jesus cried,
And therein lies our salvation.
“It is finished,” he also cried
Signifying his work was complete
And all that is left for us to do
Is to kneel at the Saviour’s feet.
