1 February 2014 - The Names of God (part three of three)

Per Psalm 29, “the Lord sits enthroned over the flood”
“The Lord is enthroned as King forever” with royal blood
He gives His people strength and blesses them with peace
From the psalmist David, praises for God never cease
In Isaiah chapter forty three verse fifteen, God is speaking
“I am the Lord, your Holy One, Israel’s Creator, your King”
Pilate asked Christ, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
In Luke twenty three, Jesus confirmed that news
In Revelation 19, John did a rider on a white horse espy
King of Kings and Lord of Lords was on his robe and thigh

God spoke to Israel in Isaiah sixty verses fifteen and sixteen
Their nation had “been forsaken and hated” it was seen
But God promised to make them “the everlasting pride”
“And the joy of all generations”, for He was on their side
That He was their Redeemer, they would then know
The Mighty One of Jacob” would help them grow
After finding out she was with child, Mary did say
“My spirit rejoices in God my Savior” every day
“For the Mighty One has done great things for me”
“Holy is His name” and wonderful is His mercy
He helped Israel, Luke chapter one does then continue
Speaking to Abraham’s descendants all the years through

In chapter nineteen of the book bearing his name
“I know that my Redeemer lives”, Job did proclaim
“And that in the end He will stand upon the earth”
For Job would see God at the time of his rebirth
In Psalm nineteen verses twelve to fourteen, David did pray
For God to forgive his faults and keep “willful sins” away
Then David would be blameless and innocent of transgression
Making his words and meditations a pleasing progression
In Isaiah chapter forty four verses six through eight
“I am the first and I am the last”, God did solemnly state
To believe otherwise is to His uniqueness mock
There is no other God and “there is no other Rock”

Psalm nine says “The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed”
“A stronghold in times of trouble”, He is up to any test
Those who know His name will trust in him, per verse ten
For The Lord has never forsaken them, be it now or then
In Psalm sixty one, David asked God to listen to his prayer
From the ends of the earth, facing any enemy he would dare
For God was David’s refuge, “a strong tower against the foe”
To take shelter in God’s tent forever, David wanted to go
Jeremiah called on the Lord, his strength and his fortress
Per chapter sixteen, Jeremiah’s “refuge in time of distress”
To God the nations will come from the ends of the earth
Their ancestors only had false gods which had no worth
God will teach them, his power and might he will show
That His “name is the Lord” then everyone will all know

To Israel, in Deuteronomy thirty two, Moses did recite a song
His words came from the Lord so they could not be wrong
“He is the Rock, his works are perfect” per verse three
“A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is He”
In 1 Samuel chapter two, to the Lord Hannah did pray
“There is no Rock like our God” she did earnestly say
David penned Psalm eighteen whilst hiding from King Saul
“The Lord is my rock, my fortress” to whom David did call

The Lord God did declare, in Isaiah chapter forty three
“So that you may know and…understand that I am he”
“And apart from me there is no savior”, per verse eleven
“I have revealed and saved and proclaimed” from heaven
God’s grace has appeared to all, per Titus chapter two
It teaches us to be upright and godly in all that we do
While for our Savior Jesus Christ’s return we do wait
Knowing that He will purify his people, Paul did state

Per Isaiah forty, “the Sovereign Lord comes with power”
“His recompense accompanies him” every single hour
“He tends his flock like a shepherd” who is doing his part
Gathering his lambs and keeping them close to his heart
In Hebrews chapter thirteen verse twenty, it was clearly said
God brought Jesus, the great Shepherd, back from the dead
So that He could equip people with everything to do His will
Enabling people to please Him as His plans they do fulfill
About the angels, John wrote in Revelation seven
He then described the throne of God in heaven
“The Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd”
“Who will lead them to springs of living water” undeterred
