Who God Is

 

I wonder who God is

I wonder what He is like,

His Word says He’s a spirit

He’s neither black nor white.

 

Perhaps you wonder

Why I started out like this,

Stay the whole course

And the point you won’t miss.

 

No man has seen God

Check the first chapter of John

But Jesus has declared him

To everyone.

 

It appears we can know Him

If we search in His Word

So let’s go there now

And see what others have heard.

 

Romans 10:17

 

For faith comes by hearing

And hearing by the Word

So read on my friend

And you too will have heard.

 

2 Corinthians 5:19

 

God was in Christ

The Bible clearly shows

Reconciling the World to Himself:

A people that were His foes.

 

So to know who God is

Let us ask His Son

For he was with God

Before the world had begun.

 

 

St. John 1:1 and 14

 

In the beginning was God

And so was the Word

That dwelt among men-

Some consider this absurd.

  

I accept it by faith

That is faith in God’s Word

So that when I am in doubt

To the Word I’m referred.

 

He who has seen the Son

Has also seen the Father,

The disciples didn’t have to wait

To see Him in the hereafter.

 

St John 14:9

 

Remember the conversation

Christ had with Philip

He who sees the Son sees the Father

Though God is a spirit.

 

2 Corinthians 5:7

 

For we walk by faith

And not by sight,

Faith then becomes our eyes

Faith becomes our light.

 

 

St John 4:24

 

God is a spirit

We see Him through His Word,

His Holy Spirit enlightens us

And removes the blur.

 

1 John 1:5

 

God is Light

In him is no darkness at all,

By faith we follow His lead

He is faithful to the called.

 

Psalm 46:1

 

God is our present help

Of this the Psalmist was sure,

He is our refuge and strength

And God is so much more.

 

 

St Matthew 6:9

 

God is our Father

As Jesus taught in the prayer

And if you take the time to study it

You’ll see how much He cares.

 

John 3:16

 

God is our loving Saviour

That has saved us from our sin

It is He who sent us Jesus

And then drew us to him.

 

Psalm 40:17

 

God is our Deliverer

And an Almighty Deliverer is He,

When we put our trust in Him

This very fact we will see.

 

Zechariah 12:8

 

God is our Defender

Against our archenemy,

Satan wants to destroy us all

Hence his hostility.

 

 

Psalm 18:2

 

God is our fortress

Into whom we can run,

There we can find safe haven

Until the battle is done.

 

Psalm 33:20

 

God is our help

Right now and for all eternity,

One day Jesus will return

And with God we’ll ever be.

 

Psalm 34:8

 

Come and taste I adjure you

And see that God is good

Then you’ll know just who He is,

It’s time you really should.

 

 

St. John 10:30

 

Then you’ll really know

That God and Jesus are one

And together with the Holy Spirit

Your life He will transform.

 

1 John 4:8; Acts 20:28

 

For God is Love

And through His Son, Jesus Christ,

God shed His blood for us

And such was His loving sacrifice.
