The stars had not yet been made.
The moon and the earth had not been formed.
The sun had not been created yet.
You were there.
You made all of the stars,
All of the moons,
The sun and all of her planets.
You were there.
You where there
Down through history.
You made the earth.
You were there.
You took the initiative
When I was deep in sin.
You sent your son to die
On the cross of Rome.
You were still there.
But He did not stay dead.
He arose from the tomb on the third day.
You were still there.
You are going to be here
Until the end of time.
You are here.
The stars will hang low in the sky,
The moon will have set an age ago,
And the sun will turn red.
You will be there.

Apr 2, 2008 | This is very nice Mathax. There are a few things about it that puzzle me. First, you're not very consistent with your tenses. For example, in the first stanza, you have "had been" and "is" which are different tenses.
I don't have time right now, but someone might be willing to help you work through those.
The other thing is, it's not clear to my why in one stanza you switched from "you" to "he".
Overall, a nice piece of writing. :)

Apr 2, 2008 | On the You/He comment, I see now why you did that - it's a Father/Son distinction. However, having one stanza about "he" instead of "you" does seem a bit jarring. I don't know if there's a good way to change that.
