God

He has many names, Yahweh, Jehovah, Elohim, El-Shaddai, Adonai, Jehovah Rafa, Emmanuel, Christ. He has revealed himself to many men, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, Joseph, Samuel, David, Isaiah. He has worked his will in the world throughout history and, indeed, is the ultimate author of history. The almighty God is ultimate to all that was, all that is, and all that will be. Scripture tells us that 'by him and for him all things were made.' This is another poem which attempts to honor who he is with meager words, all that we have to offer can never grasp the nature of an infinite God.

Behold he who spread the tapestry of the sky
Who, with mere words, gave the world its girth
Who writ his will upon the tablet of the earth
And sits now enthroned in the heavens on high

He judges the affairs of men, for he is the mighty God
A glorious magistrate, the maker of all history
His full nature hidden in infinite mystery
Yet, as a simple man, this humble world he trod

Behold Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Lord of all that is
He stands in glory, unified in oh so holy trinity
Greatest of all gods, single in his true divinity
The heavens, the earth, and all that dwell within are his

So stand we now in praise, and with our hearts we worship do
This great and mighty God, who glories in his holy name
And so with humble words we shall increase his sacred fame
Praising name of holy grace and with such wisdom we our words imbue
