Poem: The Universe Has a God

The poem “The Universe Has a God” is one of the most beautiful expressions of faith written by His Holiness Pope Shenouda III. It proclaims the eternal truth that God alone is the Creator and Sustainer of all things — the One who alone is worthy of worship and reverence.
🌿 Main Idea:
The Pope writes: “The universe has a God; none is worshiped but Him. He is the source of existence, the source of life.” With simple yet profound words, he declares that God is the beginning and the end — the Creator, the Preserver, and the Shepherd of all creation.
💫 Spiritual Dimension:
The poem lifts the heart into a state of worship and awe. “People bow in submission; to Him our foreheads are bent in kneeling, in supplication, in prayer.” Faith is portrayed not merely as thought but as love in action — a life of gratitude and communion with God.
🔥 Faithful Reflection:
The Pope marvels at the mystery of God’s greatness: “The mind is bewildered by Him, not knowing His extent.” God is exalted in heaven — Creator, Protector, and Shepherd. Before Him, humanity stands not to analyze, but to adore.
💖 Final Message:
This poem is a declaration of living faith in the one true God — Creator, Guardian, and Lover of souls. It calls us to dedicate our lives to His will, for the highest purpose of existence is to live in His pleasure. “All I desire is to spend my life in His satisfaction.”
