Who, What, When, Where, How & Why?
as they headed towards the end of their journey into the Promised Land
the Children of Israel east of the Jordan River at Gigal they came to stand
liberation was on the horizon in God their salvation was near
they were told to tell all the people that He was a God who should be feared
for God is the Creator of everything that you see, touch, hear and feel
He's the God of the whole Universe and all life, He is the real deal
we know Who He is for it was He Who gave us the breath of life
we know What He is for He is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
we know When He was for He's the Alpha, the Omega, the Beginning and the End
we know Where He is for He's in the heart, the minds and souls of all men
we know How He came to be as it was the results of His omnipotent plans
we know Why He is for He's God and the whole world is in His hands
if the truth were to be known we should fear and acknowledge His divine power
for it is only by the mighty hands of God that we're even here at this hour
we've been protected, preserved and prepared by the strength of His mercy and grace
if it wasn't for God we would not even be in this magnificent place
it's not that we reached up towards God it's that God towards us reached down
it's not that we looked for God it's that by God we were found
God's love for us is unconditional, it has no limitations
remember He sent His only begotten Son to die for our salvation
who, what, when, where, how & why?
was the Prince of Peace, the Son of Man for us destined to die?
it was because God had begun a good work inside of us
and it will carry on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus
God said He would fulfill and satisfy all of our heart's desires
if we praise, worship and honor Him and the Word that He inspires
who, what, when, where, how & why?
did the Red Sea and the Jordan River for God's people subside?
trust and believe that He did simply as a gesture of love
a way for us to let go of the past and be renewed by the power of the blood
for the heritage of the past is the seed that will one day bring
forth the harvest of the future and all that it shall glean
who, what, when, where, how & why is the resolution
of the God who works in us will act with a purposeful conclusion
who, what, when, where, how & why should we give God all the glory?
for He's the answer to everything and the substance of our life's story
