Exalting God for His Love
Exultant, my heart reveres God with gratitude
Omniscient Creator of prudence-altitude
Sustaining life’s breath, mightily miraculous
Upholding mankind by His great love's fortitude
Awed, my spirit exalts the Lord, worthy of praise
Mightily anchoring holiness by truth’s brace
His outstretched arm orchestrates timely perfection
Excellently fulfilled by His love's wondrous grace.
Humbled, my soul esteems the Saviour midst His mercy
Marvellous is His lovingkindness' constancy
Offering Himself as sacrifice so precious
For sinner’s redemption of pardon’s fervency.
Steadfast, my faith clings to Christ for empowerment
His partnership strengthens stewardship engagement
Blessing service moved by love done in His glory
Ministry pursuits toward kingdom advancement.
Bliss-filled, my person worships the King eternal*
Omnipotent in His righteousness supernal
Faithfully assuring His presence triumphant
With His love, I conquer selfishness that’s carnal.
*1Timothy 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

God Almighty is worthy of my earnest exaltation. The five words boldly highlighted are some of the terms that my finite mind can comprehend to express my description of His Being, as He has allowed me to experience, especially His love through my personal intimate relationship with my Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ according to the Scriptures.
