Today... 'almighty God'. Poem by Roy Allen

Today... 'almighty God'.



Jehovah is the Almighty God of heaven
and worthy to be worshipped and feared by all men.
The Creator of the heavens and earth is He
and Author of our Salvation and destiny.

From everlasting to everlasting reigning from high
All Knowing He watches with His all seeing eye.
For there is no place that His presence is not known
this all powerful God seated on heavens throne.

Reigning in the heavens and surrounded in light
unapproachable by sons of ignorance and night.
Majestic in holiness, glorious in grace
no man can stand before Him or look on His face.

Mighty angels surround Him and sing out His praise
with their songs of worship His Omnipotence raise.
Great God of Love and Long suffering towards men
His Goodness and Mercy descending from heaven.

He is Faithful and Just and Incorruptible
and to the human mind so Incomprehensible.
This Jealous and Wise God His Truth displays.
Immutable and unchanging in all His ways.

His pure Righteousness and Infinite nature
is worshipped by every heavenly creature.
Transcendent from creation and Self existent
Is the Sovereign Lord God the Omnipotent.

Genesis 17: 1
When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, 'I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.

Ezekiel 10: 5
And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even in the outer court, like the voice of Almighty God when He speaks.

Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

The Bible calls You by many names
each one giving a glimpse of Your glory.
Like a cut diamond radiating in the sun
with every facet depicting an aspect of Your Divine Nature.
Today I have thought of You as
'The Almighty God'


Hymn
Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessèd, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great Name we praise.

Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might;
Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring above
Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.

To all, life Thou givest, to both great and small;
In all life Thou livest, the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish—but naught changeth Thee.

Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;
But of all Thy rich graces this grace, Lord, impart
Take the veil from our faces, the vile from our heart
.
All laud we would render; O help us to see
'tis only the splendour of light hideth Thee,
And so let Thy glory, Almighty, impart,
Through Christ in His story, Thy Christ to the heart.

Walter Charmers Smith 1824-1908
