The Nine Billion Names of God

I keep stumbling upon names of God as I work,
You can tell it is a name of God because because you get a little shiver when you realise it.
Of course I only have a lifetime,
A human one,
And as time is short I don't think I will pursue it,
However,If I have children and they are unruly,
I might set them a few lines.
