John Hamilton Poet Rhyme

The Character of God Re-Post

He is my inspiration.
Creator of Life, you are,

We extol your creative wonders.
We stand in awe at your wisdom,
We're compelled to pause and ponder.

Almighty God, you are,

Astonishing displays of your great power.
Your name for us is our shelter,
Our stronghold and our tower.

Sovereign Lord, you are,

Exercising dominion o'er all your creation.
We surrender to your ascendancy, 
In unreserved dedication.

Ancient of Days, you are,

As revealed in your own word.
No one surpasses you in excellence,
Your blessings now conferred.

King of Righteousness, you are,

Your statutes and principles you give.
Wholeheartedly we shall obey your laws,
As long as we shall live.

King of Eternity, you are,

From indefinite past, to forever,
We disown ourselves in servitude,
Our resolute endeavor.

Majestic One, you are,

Incomparable in glory and holiness.
Your resplendent magnificence,
Only you possess.

Alpha and Omega, you are,

The beginning and the end.
Because of your great love, we choose,
To be your lifelong friends.

Praised be your holy name!

J ust and righteous is he.
E verlasting, to time indefinite.
H oly to the superlative degree.
O mniscient, all knowing, all wise.
V enerable, worthy of Worship.
A lmighty in power.
H ighly exalted.
