Who is God

(I should have been the ‘Author,’
As the Words ‘Speak to my Heart,’
I offer this to the Leary 'Scoffer,'
‘To Understand,’ not Tear Apart. //as//)

I received this about four years ago, and feel it might catch an eye here:

Who is God (a Blog received four years ago)
(Author Unknown)

A prophet before Moses
A priest after Melchizedek
A champion like Joshua
An offering in place of Isaac
A king from the line of David
A wise counselor above Solomon
A beloved/rejected/exalted son like Joseph

The Heavens declare His glory
and the firmament shows His handiwork
He who is, who was, and who always will be
The first and the last
He is the Alpha and Omega
the Aleph and the Tau the A and the Z

He is the first fruits of them that slept
He is the "I Am that I AM"
The voice from the Burning Bush!
He is the Captain of the Lord's Host
He was the conqueror of Jericho

He is enduringly strong
He is entireley sincere
He is eternally steadfast
He is imomortally graceful
He Is imperially powerful
He is impartially merciful

In Him dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily
The very God of very God
He is our Kinsman Redeemer
and He is our Avenger of Blood
Our Performing High Priest
Our Personal Prophet
Our Reigning KIng

He's the loftiest idea in Literature
the highest personality in Philosophy
the fundamental doctrine of Theology
and He is the supreme Problem in higher critiscism

He is the miracle of all the ages
the superlative of all that is good!
You and I are the beneficiaries of a love letter
it was written in blood, on a wooden cross
erected in Judea 2,000 years ago

He was crucified on a cross of wood
Yet He made the hill on which it stood
By Him were all things made, that were made;
without Him was not anything made that was made;
By Him are all things held together!

What held him to the Cross? It wasn't the nails
(At any time He could have declared, I'm out of here!")
It was His love for you and me
He was born of a woman, so that we could be born of God;

He humbled Himself, so that we could be lifted up;
He suffered rejection, so that we could become His friends;
He denied Himself, so that we could freely receive all things;
He gave Himself, so that He could bless us in every way.
He's available to the tempted and the tried

He blesses the young
He cleanses the Lepers
He defends the feeble
He delivers the captives
He discharges the debtors

He forgives the sinners
He franchises the meek
He guards the besieged
He heals the sick

He provides strength to the weak
He regards the aged
He rewards the diligent
He serves the unfortunate
He sympathizes and He saves!

His Offices are manifold
His Reign is righteous
His promises are sure
His Goodness is limitless
His Light is matchless
His Grace is sufficient

His Love never changes
His Mercy is everlasting
His Word Is enough
His Yoke is easy and His burden is light!
I wish I could describe him to you.

He's indescribable
He's incomprehensible
He's irresistible
He's invincible

The Heaven of heavens cannot contain Him
Man cannot explain Him
The Pharisees couldn't stand Him
and learned that they couldn't stop him

Pilate couldn't find any fault with HIm
the witnesses couldn't agree against Him
Herod coudln't kill Him
death couldn't handle HIm
the grave couldn't hold Him!
He has always been and always will be;

He had no predecessor and will have no successor,
you can't impeach him and He isn't going to resign!
His name is above every name;
That at the name of Yeshua
Every knee shall bow, Every tongue shall confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord!
