What's In A Name? Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Almighty’s the name of El Shaddai
No child of His will ever die
Created in truth by Elohim
That all should live to worship Him


Jehovah Rohi Shepherds the flock
Standing firm upon The Rock
Jehovah Shammah The Lord is there
Guiding His sheep with loving care


Jehovah Jireh The Lord will provide
Sustaining all who will abide
Who trust in Him, His true report
Will see God’s arm is all but short


Jehovah Tzedkenu righteous all through
Perfect in splendour glorious too
Giver of life Jesus His Son
El Olam The eternal One


Jehovah Rophe The Lord who heals
He who suffered knows how it feels
Thirty-nine stripes The Saviour bore
Pilot and guide through Heaven’s door


Jehovah Machaddesh Saviour by grace
His righteous few will see God’s face
Who’s heart and arms are open wide
Who’s Holy Ghost will dwell inside


Jehovah Shalom The Lord of peace
The King whose reign will never cease
To troubled hearts He brings delight
Setting all foes to total flight


Jehovah Nissi gives victory to all
Who’ll bow their knee and heed His call
God our banner standard held high
Such are the names never to die…
