Who Might He Be?

 

 

He hears but He has no ears

He reaches out without hands,

He sees all yet without eyes

He hasn’t a brain but a plan.

 

He speaks but has no mouth

Is everywhere at the same time,

His power and might are unlimited

He has a will and a mind.

 

There is nothing He does not know

And none that knows more that He,

The universe He created at the prompt of a word,

Earth’s land and all of its sea.

 

In Him is life and also light

And nothing can exist without Him,

The sun, moon and stars owe their existence to Him

And of Him the trees clap and sing.

 

He cannot be touched or be felt

For He is the eternal Spirit

Yet, He can touch and He also feels

As shown in His Holy Writ.

 

He is not a something but a someone

Though often referred to as which,

However, His many names should give us a clue

And cause an immediate switch.

 

Jehovah Yahweh is one such name

Revealed by a burning bush,

The fact that it was not being consumed

Brought Moses to the point of trust.

 

 

I AM THAT I AM, the self-existing One

Eternal, self-evident and true,

Infallible, transcendent and all together wise

And not influenced by anyone’s view.

 

He can be known by humankind

Though by human, He is beyond comprehension,

And the fact He called Abraham friend

Shows His desire to form relations.

 

He transcends time, space and matter

Which baffles the human mind

And the most we can do is acknowledge Him

And worship His Majesty Divine.

 

He is from everlasting to everlasting

And holds the Universe in space,

Matter and energy are His to command

And no man has seen His face.

 

He is both immutable and immovable

And cannot be altered over time,

His yea is yea and His nay always nay

And he has never ever changed His mind.

  

The entirety of all of human knowledge

With His knowledge does not compare

And on a continuum with His Divine wisdom

Man’s wisdom does not even appear.

 

His understanding is incomprehensible

He sees everything as is all the time,

He knows every motive and intent

And the thoughts of every mind.

 

He is absolutely pure and holy

And incapable of an unrighteous act,

He cannot lie or break a promise

And nothing He says does He ever retract.

 

He is more effulgent than the sun

And in Him is no darkness at all,

He is one with the Word and the Holy Spirit

And it is impossible for Him to fall.

 

He does whatever pleases Him

And to no man owes He any debt,

He is plenteous in mercy and full of grace

And His will is in eternity set.

 

He is loving and forgiving

And His beneficence knows no bounds,

Regarding His steadfast love and assurance

No equal can be found.

 

He can be seen in all of nature

Through its varied and delicate designs

And to the one that seeks confirmation

All nature is a sign.

 

With mankind He seeks a relationship

Through His Son and our Savior, the Christ,

Whom He sent as our kinsman Redeemer

As a once and for all sin sacrifice.

 

 

Therein is the measure of His Love

The Creator, Redeemer and Deliverer

And through all of History and time

There is no greater lover.

 

And who might he be?

Some may still pretentiously ask,

He is God the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit

The only of His kind: a unique class.

 

The what He has made known to us

The how is not ours to know,

But one thing for certain of which we are sure

He will not refuse any that to Him go.

 

As a matter of fact

He invites all and sundry to come to Him

Through His blessed Son, the Lord Jesus,

That we might be saved from sin.

 

Accept Him right this moment

And let Him in your heart reign,

The Lord Jehovah Yahweh and Elohim

All these are His name!
