God  uses NOTHING,   when He begins to work,

His great creation came to pass, when He spoke and didn’t shirk;

The world is hung on   NOTHING, so the Bible said,

Long before man  realised that, in space the stars were spread,

Yet man who’s  made from  NOTHING,  only out of dust,

Rails against his Maker, the Holy One and Just:

Nations in God’s sight are NOTHING, in fact are even less,

The princes too, are NOTHING, when  God they do not  bless,

As well, the great man’s riches, are NOTHING to desire,

For one day they will burn, in God’s judgemental fire.

Man  came into this world, with NOTHING in his hand,

And  when he dies will leave behind, his treasures and his land:

NOTHING   that man does,  is hid from God’s all seeing eyes,

Whate’er  he  sows now, he will reap, through all eternity.

In spite of all man’s pride, and wilful stubborn ways,

God looks down  in mercy, and for sin’s price He pays,

He gave Son to die, for men with sinful trend,

In Him the prince of evil, found NOTHING he could rend.

He paid the price in full, and offers all for free,

Salvation costs us NOTHING,   now for you and also me,

Our  days on earth may be as NOTHING,  but ahead is  Heaven’s bliss,

By taking Jesus as our Saviour, this NOTHING makes  us miss,

NOTHING   now will separate. from His great boundless love,

It reaches far and wide for us. from depth to height above;

Till in that endless day ahead, NOTHING mars the scene,

No sin, no night, no sorrow there, but Christ will reign supreme.

So from this fact of NOTHING, the great Creator brings,

The greatest worth for all of those, who will His praises sing.
