we've found the universal unity

we've known it all along

though dis-believed

that force that this universe unites

prevents from flying free

holds all disparate bits together

and electrons to their core

we've found and known what all this world still seeks

that alone which of all makes sense

and doubted ridiculed and scorned

stand firm upon our stand

upon the grace of God

alone which gives us strength

so sufficient is His power as to hold us firm

long after atoms cease their spin

This and the preceding poem were written in

response to a chapter from “The Gagging of God”

by D. A. Carson
