Today... 'The Beginning And The End' Poem by Roy Allen

Before the dawn of earths time Jesus stood
and He spoke the awesome life giving Word.
At the threshold of this worlds history
commenced creation with words 'Let there be.'

All things then materialised in space
at His command the earth took up its place.
Starry hosts were born as the Lord God breathed
by His Word the Universe was conceived.

Alive before the beginning was He
at the end of this age He will also be.
Through the eons of history always there
no earthly day has been beyond His care.

Outside of time this everlasting Man
will outlive the universe by His plan.
From eternity He alone is Lord.
The First and the Last and the final word.

Without beginning, without end is He
and has always been and will always be.
Beyond earth's future reigns eternally
when time has gone and all men bow the knee.

He is
The Alpha and the Omega
The Beginning and the End
The First and the Last
The Ancient of Days
