Ex Nihilo

[dadof4]

Darkness -
Look around, what do you see?
What do you think you see?
A tiny, flashing light
A spirit gliding across the floor.
- Nothing

Daylight -
Look about, what do you see?
What do you want to see?
A friendship growing strong
A world that is filled with peace for all
- Nothing

Your life -
Look inward, what do you see?
What do you wish to see?
Riches, wealth, fame, glory,
People thinking about you with love.
- Nothing

Your heart -
Look inside, what do you see?
What do you try to see?
Peace, solitude, hope, love,
Freedom from hatred, freedom from pain.
- Nothing

A hill -
Look upward, what do you see?
What do you strain to see?
A cross. . . nail. . . blood - great pain
Three people between Heaven and earth.
- Nothing

A tomb -
Look within, what do you see?
What do you ween to see?
An angel standing there,
"He that you seek is no longer here!"
- Nothing

Such fear -
Look indoors, what do you see?
What do you doubt you see?
Eleven men afraid -
One appears, "Peace be unto you," - gone. . .
- Nothing

Mountain -
Look above, what do you see?
What do you toil to see?
Bright light, Jesus Christ, God.
The Son going home to the Father.
- Nothing

Heaven -
Look aloft, what do you see?
What do you yearn to see?
Nail-pierced hands, wounded side,
Arms outstretched, "Paid in full." What you owe. . .
- Nothing

Your life -
Look again, what do you see?
What do you trow to see?
Jesus Christ, Son of God.
All your hopes and dreams compared to His
- Nothing

Your heart -
Look anew, what do you see?
What do you know GOD sees?
Forgiveness of sin, pure,
Holy Ghost. All your sin forever. . .
- Nothing
