God Spoke

God spoke -
his written word
points to his living Word,
his Son,
fulfilled in him.
Yet wordy men
with masterful folly
de-word the divine word
and substitute
their own wordiness.

God spoke -
his written word
long outlasts
the scholar,
still points
to the Word
giving life
to all who believe.

God spoke -
yet still to come
the final word
of judgment day.
The word is sure -
the price is paid!
No penalty awaits
the trusting soul!
