First Cause God

 

“Whatever begins to exist

Must have a first cause”,

To assimilate this profundity

Let us take a pause.

 

You may call it simplistic,

At a glance that may be true

But it takes some people a life time

To grapple with this view.

 

It makes scientific sense

And to the erudite, it’s scholarly

But its “whatever begins to exist”

Does not factor in eternity.

 

Who or what, I ask

Is this eternal first cause?

For this cause must be eternal

And cannot itself be caused.

 

This cause must always be,

Therefore, always was

And right about now you’ll hear

Darwinians begin to buzz.

 

First cause must be eternal,

No beginning and no end…

Any other conclusion I advance

Is fictional let’s pretend.

 

Any scientist worth his salt

Must come to this conclusion,

And it cannot be Big Bang-

Big Bang is the delusion.

 

The first cause must be one

That has an intelligent mind

Since throughout the Universe

There is intelligent design.

 

 

The order all around

Speaks to a supreme intelligence

And the creativity within humans

Is conclusive evidence.

 

First cause is eternal

First cause is intelligent,

Big Bang does not measure up

Whatever the atheist’s intent!

 

There has to be relationship

For humans have a mind,

We all know this to be a fact

From the beginning of time.

 

Made in the Creator’s image

For relationship:

Relationship with the Supreme

And with one another fit.

 

Design is not by accident

But is purposefully arranged,

God, the first cause did this

And this is not strange.

 

But the delusion definitely is

And undeniably so,

Big Bang surely does not cut it

And it’s time we let it go.

 

Intelligent design wins out

The evidence is markedly clear,

First cause is conclusively God

Whose attributes we share.

Created for relationship

Created to worship God,

Created to honour and obey Him

And to hold Him in Awe.

 

Our First Cause is awesome

He is altogether lovely

He not only has no beginning

But exists in eternity.

 

 

The I AM THAT I AM

The one and only first cause,

The Creator, Redeemer, Sustainer

The Father of us all.

  

He is worthy of all praise

To Him belongs all worship,

Our First Cause: Father and Son

And blessed Holy Spirit.
