El Shaddai

God indeed is fully almighty
this characteristic is just one
of the many that describe God
to name them all we'd never be done

God is so completely powerful
He can make anything to appear
if it doesn't it's better not to
for His wisdom's sure and so clear

God can overcome all obstacles
for His brain is so mightily perfect
He reads ahead of everyone's plan
knowing what to do simply select

God fills all things to His perfection
the requirements are His to make good
He reads from an eternal perspective
seeing so to be divinely understood

God is absolutely mighty always
there's never a time that He's wrong
no matter what or who fights against us
El Shaddai God almighty forever strong

(my wife Christine and I love this song by Amy Grant so thought I would write a poem centred on the title, meaning  God Almighty.
listen to youtube clip which also includes Amy Grant's brill song  'Thy Word'' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoOc5QLVHk0
God bless you all.)

Nicely done Gordon, love the spiritual writes, not many understand El Shaddai depend more on El Gibbohr hebrew for Mighty one sometimes confused with El Shaddai. Good job enjoyed this read.
