THE WORD OF GOD

From desert cliff and mountain top
We trace the wise design
Strike, slip, fault and overthrust,
I've seen an empty ???
We gaze upon creation where
Erosion makes it known
Count the countless eons
In the banding of the stone.

Odd long vanished creatures
And their tracks and shells are found
Where tooth has left its sketches
On the slate beneath the ground.
The patient stone can speak
If we will listen when it talks.
Humans wrote the Bible,
God wrote the rocks.

There are those who name the stars,
Who watch the sky by night,
Seeking out the darkest place
To better see the light.
Long ago when torture broke
The remnant of his will,
Galileo recounted -
But the Earth is moving still.

High above the mountain tops
Where only distance ???
The truth has left its footprints
In the dust between the stars.
We may watch and study
Or may shatter and deny.
Humans wrote the Bible,
God wrote the sky.

By stem and root and branch we trace,
By feather, fang and fur,
How the living things that are
Descend from things that were.
The moss, the cat, the zipperfish,
The very mice and flies,
Tiny humble wordless things -
How shall they tell us lies?

We are kin to beasts.
No other answer can we bring.
The truth has left its fingerprints
On every living thing.
Remember when you have to choose
Between them in the strife:
Humans wrote the Bible,
God wrote life.

And we who listen to the sky,
Or walk the dusty grade,
Or break the very atoms down
To see how they are made,
Or study cells or living things,
Seek truth with open hand.
The profoundest act of worship
Is to try to understand.

Deep in flower and in flesh,
In sky and soil and seed
The truth has left its living word
For anyone to read.
So turn and look wherever you think
The truth will be unfurled.
Humans wrote the Bible,
God wrote the world.
