His Holiness Demands Silent Awe -Habakkuk 2: 20

The sovereign Lord is in His holy temple
reigning there over all the earth
the people of this world need be quiet
for this God brings about their birth

This God is the Lord of all eternity
full of glory, majesty and perfect love
all His subjects require to be in awe
in the presence of this Lord from above

What glory descends from His throne
showing Himself so magnificently pure
such purity that man can't describe
the minds blown completely to be sure

All people's living upon this world
should recognise His will for them
so be silent before His very presence
this He calls for among all men

This is God eternal has even been
His face no one has never seen
the holy scriptures tell us this
so be sure His love you never miss

(''But the Lord is in his holy temple;
   let all the earth keep silence before him.”)
Habakkuk 2: 20 (ESV)

Hi Gordon, You poems leave me in awe! I am a believer and have faith and have got my honours degree in the spirituality of the new Testament but i still can't profess to have these profound steadfast thoughts that you have. I wish I could and want to, I love your poems. Kindest regards, jennifer.
