Can you tell what I am
thinking?
I know someone who can,
He even knows my future
And He never reads my
palm.
Crystal balls are not His
thing
And He never ever predicts
He doesn’t even prophesy
Yet He sees all from where
he sits.
He knows when we are
sincere
And whenever we pretend,
He knows what we will
decide
And all that we intend.
What question he cannot
answer?
There is actually none,
He alone can decide
How long each course will
run.
Time’s clock has been set
by Him
From its beginning to its
end,
He knows every twist and
turn
Every tunnel and every
bend.
He is the ultimate Ruler
King of kings and Lord of
lords,
He is one yet three
As substantiated by the
Word
There’s much we do not
understand
As expressed in His Word,
And often in our
brilliance
We deem that Word absurd.
He alone orders the wind
And the boundaries of the
sea,
No effort or struggle is
required
Just a simple “Let it be”.
He transcends all of creation
It is all contained in
Him,
Everything is for His
purpose
Not our fancy or our whim.
We were created in His
image
Though we often tend to
forget
And the balance that He
initiated
We constantly try to
upset.
His ways are past finding
out
His thoughts are not our
thoughts,
He is from everlasting to
everlasting
And He cannot be bought.
All in the earth are His
There is nothing that He
needs,
He has provided it for our
sustainment
Not to satisfy our greed.
He is the Lord God Jehovah
The I AM that I AM,
Revealed in Christ the
Saviour
The Shepherd and yet the
Lamb.
That he died for me is
amazing
That he lives in me is
comforting,
That he is coming for me
is reassuring
That I am in him is
enlightening.
It is my honour to know
Him
It is my privilege to be
called His own
His slave I may be but I
am free
Free to enjoy true
liberty.
What blessed freedom in
Christ!
My Shepherd, Lamb and
Sacrifice,
Nothing brought I but one
sin-sick soul
Yet he washed me and made
me whole.
All of Him and none of me
No credit can I take,
No merit in me, no merit
at all
God did it all for Jesus’
sake.
And now I rest assured in
Him
Until my earthly rest
shall be,
Anticipating the glorious
resurrection
When I shall live
eternally.
