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

Today... 'Awesome God'



This Awesome God is the creator of all
and before His throne the angels prostrate fall.
He who measures the universe with a span
is unapproachable by mere mortal man.

Surrounded in beams of uncreated light
This Jehovah God is a majestic sight.
Holy, Holy are the songs of Cherubim
for all honour and glory belongs to Him.

From everlasting to everlasting is He
before all time outlasting eternity
Who can tell of His great might and majesty
He is an Awesome God and The Almighty.

Hymn
My God, how wonderful Thou art
Thy majesty how bright!
How beautiful Thy mercy-seat
In depths of burning light!
How dread are Thine eternal years
O everlasting Lord
By prostrate spirits day and night
Incessantly adored!
How wonderful, how beautiful
The sight of Thee must be
Thine endless wisdom, boundless power
And awesome purity!

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
'Awesome God '
