God Knows Everything

 

 

He was called by his name

Long before he was born

And I can boldly say

He was not the only one.

 

His name was given

Fifty decades before his birth

And he became a great leader

In all the earth.

 

Although he was a pagan king

God used him mightily,

He was only twenty-five

When he won a great victory.

 

He became a world emperor

At the fall of Babylon,

What God says He will do

Must be counted as done.

 

 

He was anointed

By none other than by God

Go to Isaiah chapter 45

And read it in His Word.

 

He was a prototype

Of the Messiah that would come

And I am fairly sure you know

I mean Jesus, God’s Son.

 

God gave him much wealth

And many a conquest

And concerning His people Israel

In him did greatly invest.

 

Isaiah 44:28

 

Said God of this emperor

“He is my shepherd,”

And God Himself added,

“He shall perform all my pleasure.”

 

 

Even saying to Jerusalem

“Your walls shall be built;

And to the temple,

“Thy foundation shall be laid.”

 

 

A prophecy that came to pass

At the time prophesied,

That God knows all things

Cannot truly be denied.

 

God knew this emperor

Long before he was born

And he knows everything about us

Thus, we have been warned.

 

A particular king of Judah

Was named before he was born,

This one was Josiah;

Cyrus was the other one.

 

There were specific prophecies

Relating to their lives

And everyone was fulfilled

As in the biblical archives.

 

God is a promise keeper

And He knows everything,

He is able to declare

The end from the beginning.
