He is the Lord Almighty; He reigns from way up high.
He is a God so lofty, it reaches to the sky.
And then it reaches higher than all the universe;
It’s part of His creation and all fits in His purse!
This God of ours is awesome. The angels kneel before,
The One Who made it happen. They worship and adore,
The Infinite Creator, by Whose Divine command,
Worlds came into existence precisely as He planned.
He speaks; and then it happens; He fashions things
from naught.
The fabric of the universe, defined by what He thought!
The sub-atomic particles, the emptiness of space,
Appeared on His instructions; each in their proper place.
No power can resist Him. It’s foolishness to try.
Complete annihilation could instantly apply!
He’s timeless and He’s ageless; our God does not
grow old.
He has no need of anything; He’s never hot nor cold.
He has no need for houses, ‘though He has used a
tent.
It was the tabernacle, where priests and people went.
The heavens can’t contain Him, the earth is his
footstool.
What’s more, He is omniscient and never went to school!
And yet He is all loving. His mercy never ends.
He never has to borrow; He is the One Who lends!
All that’s in the cosmos His holy word obeys;
The stars all shine; the worlds rotate, exactly as He says.
Man is the only creature, by whom He is ignored.
We do not have the reverence, that’s worthy of the Lord.
We are so disrespectful; on Him we seldom call.
We are obsessed with selfishness; it started with the fall.
Some doubt in His existence. He doesn’t seem to
mind.
But then, to quote the prophets, we’re naked, sick and blind.
An excellent solution would be to “rub us out”
But He is not a sadist; that’s not what love’s about.
His patience lasts forever. At least that’s how it
seems.
But someday He will intervene and pulverise our schemes.
The fact is, every knee shall bow and every tongue
shall swear;
That He is God and they are men; and that they don’t compare,
With Him in any aspect; for He alone is good.
Very few have treated Him the way that people should.
He alone is righteous and we are full of sin.
We deserve His rightful wrath for how we’re treating Him.
And, trembling before Him, we’ll hang our heads in
shame,
Knowing that the path of life is not a selfish game.
Since it’s bound to happen, there’s just one thing
to do.
Go in deep contrition, ask Him to renew;
|
|
And cleanse you of your wickedness and all you’ve
ever done,
In total disobedience. Then trust in Christ His Son.
