My God is...

How big is your God?

For many people He is little more than an impressive statue or an unknowable force.

But the bible has much to say about God, a little of which is captured in this short poem by an unknown author.



God is Lord Almighty, Omnipotent King,
Lion of Judah, Rock of Ages,
Prince of Peace, King of Kings,
Lord of Lords,
Provider, Protector,
Paternal Leader,
Ruling Lord and
Reigning King of all the universe.


He is Father, Helper, Guardian and God.
He is the First and Last,
the Beginning and the End.
He is the keeper of Creation and the Creator of all He keeps.
The Architect of the universe and the Manager of all times.


He always was, is, and will be:
Unmoved, Unchanged, Undefeated,
and never Undone.
He was bruised and brought healing.
He was pierced and eased pain.
He was persecuted and brought freedom.
He was dead and brought life.
He is risen and brings power.
He reigns and brings Peace.


The world can’t understand him,
the armies can’t defeat Him,
the schools can’t explain Him,
and the leaders can’t ignore Him.
Herod couldn’t kill Him,
the Pharisees couldn’t confuse Him,
the people couldn’t hold Him!
Nero couldn’t crush Him.
Hitler couldn’t silence Him,
the New Age can’t replace Him and
Donahue can’t explain Him away!


He is light, love, longevity, and Lord.
He is goodness, kindness, gentleness, and God.
He is Holy, Righteous, mighty, powerful, and pure.
His ways are right, His word is eternal,
His will is unchanging,
and His mind is on me!
He is my redeemer, He is my saviour,
He is my guide, He is my peace,
He is my Joy, He is my comfort,
He is my Lord and He rules my life.


I serve Him because His bond is love, His burden is light,
and His goal for me is abundant life.
I follow Him because He is the wisdom of the wise,
the power of the powerful, the ancient of days,
the ruler of rulers, the leader of leaders,
the overseer of the overcomers,
and the sovereign Lord of all that was, is and is to come.


And if that seems impressive to you, try this for size.
His goal is a relationship with ME!
He will never leave me, forsake me,
mislead me, forget me, overlook me,
and never cancel my appointment in His appointment book!


When I fall, He lifts me up.
When I fail, He forgives me.
When I am weak, He is strong.
When I am lost, He is The Way.
When I am afraid, He is my courage.
When I stumble, He steadies me.
When I am hurt, He heals me.
When I am broken, He mends me.
When I am blind, He leads me.
When I am hungry, He feeds me.
When I face trials, He is with me.
When I face persecution, He stills me.
When I face problems, He comforts me.
When I face loss, He provides for me.
When I face Death, He carries me Home!


He is everything for everybody,
everywhere, every time, and in every way.
He is God, He is faithful, I am His, and He is mine.
My Father in heaven can whip the father of this world,
and so, if you’re wondering why I feel so secure,
understand this: He said it, and that settles it.


God is in control, I am on His side, and that means all is well with my soul.
