The Atom and The Molecule
(A faith and science song - tune to follow)
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
