Today... 'Everlasting Father' Poem by Roy Allen

Today... 'Everlasting Father'



The Everlasting Father came to earth as the Son
Great mystery of Godliness in the Belovèd One
God manifest in the flesh for all the world to see
There in Christ dwells the fullness of Godhead bodily

For the Everlasting Father and the Prince of Peace
Came from heaven to earth Satan's captives to release
Bringing us His salvation as earths' pathways He trod
reaching out with arms opened so wide with the love of God

All quotations ©NIV

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 a glorious
aspect of Your Divine Nature.
Today I have thought of You as
'The Everlasting Father'
