POEM
When He speaks a word

Ed Wiebe

What if Almighty speaks a word?
Then worlds are formed, as with the crack of thunder,
Burst on the scene, while angels watch in wonder,
When Almighty speaks a word!

What if the Saviour speaks a word?
Then hell’s dark powers slink away in fear,
And healing, light and happiness appear,
When the Saviour speaks a word!

What if the Spirit speaks a word?
Then faith and hope are born in human heart,
Fly in as sparks, and give new life a start,
When the Spirit speaks a word!

What if the Sovereign speaks a word?
Then let creation hold her tongue in awe,
Let silence rule, till He His word withdraw,
When the Sovereign speaks a word!

What if the Judge will speak a word?
Then sealed forever is their doom, and this—
Yes, this! – then sealed forever is our bliss,
When the Judge will speak a word!

Ed Wiebe has just completed serving as interim associate pastor at Westwood MB Church in Prince George, B.C.
