'What Were They Thinkin’?' (For May 6, 2012)
By Allan Thomasson

Evolution of man? Enough!
Of primates, cavemen; all that stuff.
Stuff and nonsense! Never try
To say what swims, or walks, or flies

Could ever really come to be
By chance or accident. You see,
Our natural science does not allow
For any snake, fish, bird or cow

To suddenly originate
From nothing! Now, let’s get this straight!
If matter, you cannot create
Nor yet destroy, then how can "fate"

Cause everything to come to be?
For that would take eternity.
Two very small "particulates";
From nothing did they generate?

By some force, and some sort of gas
On which they float until they pass
And friction came, because they two
Both brushed together, so they grew

To then support a life so small;
Was that the start that caused it all?
To multiply, and grow and grow
Until the universe we know

Both came to be, and still exists?
Was that the start of all of this?
Well, I think not! For can it be
That science can't in reality

Explain the means by which it came,
For they would have to change the name
Of "science" to "science fiction" now.
What they present doth raise my brow;

That something came from nothing? No.
They just can’t say that . For we know
They’d have to change their principle
To show that truth’s dispensable,

And change the truth into a lie,
And show another reason why
Things came to be. The record’s clear,
That God created us, so dear

To His great Heart of love that we
Might live with Him eternally.
He sent His Son to live and die
So sinners just like you and I

Might trust His love, accept His grace,
For Jesus came and took our place.
Our sins upon Him then were cast
That we, through faith, might lose our past,

Our sinful nature in our flesh,
Thus starting life anew and fresh.
When we before Him penitent fall,
When we shall hear his loving call,

‘Come unto Me, and sin no more.
I have the life you’re looking for.
I died for you, to set you free
From sin; and you shall be with Me.’

And He receives us. Sinless now,
Because before Him we did bow,
Without a thought to look behind
Because we’ve vowed heart, soul and mind

To serve Him now, forever. Then
He promised He would come again
And take us, nevermore to be
Apart from Him. To Him now flee

From deadly sin and fleshly pride;
Receive the Christ, Who bled and died.
You won’t regret it. You will see.
Be blessed in all eternity.

So many lies and myths they make,
But your salvation they can’t take.
Though tale by tale they fight our Lord,
They’ll be defeated by His Word.

You win, you win! The devil’s lost!
For Jesus bought you at great cost.
He left His throne in heaven above
To save the world by His great love.

So many dear ones we now know
May never go to heaven, though,
Unless we tell them this sure plan
That God has made for mortal man.

While liars from their cup are drinkin’,
Lose their souls:. What are they thinkin’?
This great invitation too,
Is made for ‘them’, and me, and you.
