God* --- omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent
verily reached down to me
offering His friendship and fellowship.
With trust in the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ...
...I am endowed by faith that pleases HIM, all by His grace
Now, my vibrant relationship with HIM keeps on getting sweeter daily
making me affirm His attributes:
His love, indeed redemptive
His mercy, always restorative
His grace, truly rehabilitative
His power, surely constructive
His kindness, greatly palliative
His peace, divinely sedative
His precepts, wisely informative
His goodness, supremely creative
His statutes, clearly declarative
His admonitions, graciously punitive
His testimonies, joyously affirmative
His doctrines, steadfastly effective
His reproofs, compassionately positive
His commandments, authoritatively imperative.
*Revelation 19:6 ... Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

Being imperfect…
…we err, displeasing our Holy God;
Let’s then confess* our faults---
---accepting His merciful reproofs
toward virtuous transformation-glow.
As sinful beings…
…we transgress, missing the Lord’s standards;
Let’s now admit our guilt---
---beseeching for His bountiful pardon
with corrective rebukes midst peace-filled bliss.
Still in the flesh…
…we have carnality-struggles, subduing our trust in Christ;
Let’s always yield to Him Whose grace abounds---
---thanking Him for His ready, fortifying aid
for our faith's upholding with servant-heart discipline.
*1John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Gleam droplets of hope to a weary soul.
Large pitcher of life,
Quenching every thirst of meaning
Inspired by truth,
Still the same from age to age.
Handed down through painful sacrifice.
Inundated with power.
Saving the damned from sheol (hell)
Rescuing the oppressed from the predator.
Delivering the sick from the scourge.
Overcoming the cold clutches of death to give hope for eternal life.
A literature of refuge.
Creating a shield to protect against fiery darts.
Establishing a fortress against the minions of self destruction.
Instituting a garrison from which we could launch an attack against the forces of malice and stagnation.
The path to life
Offering instructions unto life.
Presenting reproofs to starve off destruction.
Raising praises for upliftment purposes.
Oh Ancient words!
Breathe life into us all
