The Atom and The Molecule are part of God’s Great Plan

The Atom and The Molecule

(A faith and science song - tune to follow)

This is a lighthearted song which blends the science of Creation and an outline of the Christian story. I hope you and God will like it: I found it great fun to write!

 

The atom and the molecule are part of Gods’ great plan, 

the photon and the proton both emerged in The Big Bang. 

The source of all the elements was God’s almighty Word,

and the fundamental forces* jumped for joy! 

 

Great rocks and little pebbles were coerced by gravity 

to form amazing planets, and enormous galaxies 

The source of all this gathering was God’s almighty Word,

and the fundamental forces jumped for joy! 

 

Great beasts preceded humans here, upon our planet earth,

extinction by an asteroid left fossils we unearth.

The source of all those massive lives was God’s almighty Word,

and the fundamental forces jumped for joy! 

 

Among much smaller creatures, human beings then evolved

and Eve and Adam’s epic was the wisest story told

Of mortals’ brash behaviour despite God’s forewarning Word.

And the fundamental forces paused their joy.

 

As humans down the ages moved away from God’s great plan,

He gave His Son to visit us, from baby through to man,

to offer us a vision of life lived by His Word,

and the angel hosts of heaven sung for joy.

 

Good News and life eternal were the messages of Christ,

confronting powerful leaders anxious they might be displaced;

Christ’s shameful killing at their hands fulfilled the Prophets’ Words

(Pause)

AT HIS RISING ALL THE COSMOS LEAPT FOR  JOY!



* The Fundamental Forces are 

    • The Weak nuclear force responsible for particle decay: find a good physics site such as 'Live Science’ to explain the mechanics of this and the other three forces.You will find a link at the bottom of this post.
    • The Strong nuclear force
    • Electromagnetism     
    • Gravity
    •                                                               
    • These four forces govern everything in the Universe (Source: Space.com)


This same theme is explored in a rather more youth-friendly  song called ‘The Bible Starts with Awesome Tale’ which can be accessed HERE


And similar ideas are caught into the hymn Source of The Fundamental Forces


The four fundamental forces are explained on this page of the Live Science website
