An Almost-Poem...

January 31, 2005

Invisible: so I hope in You who are unseen
Immortal: You exist throughout eternity
King of Ages: You will reign above a glassy sea
The only wise God: alone of glory deserving

You are real, though not yet in my sight
You are comfort, keeping watch through the night
You are Sovereign, a ruler of tenderness and might
You are the Word, speaking Creation into light



You are Love, steadfast and perfect
You are Truth, in whom is no darkness
You are Mercy, saving the undeserving

How You give us the desires of our hearts when we delight ourselves in You!
How You shower us abundantly with gifts, making known Your will and giving wisdom.

You are Sacrifice, the blameless one covering my guilt with perfect blood
You are Redemption, buying back the one who was dead and restoring life
You are Lord, to whom I bow and all allegiance give, as Slave to Master
You are Friend, Closest One who knows
my every thought and fear
You are Provider, competent for bird and Man alike, to assuage every need.
You are God.
