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!
