** Great Is Your Name Oh Lord ** Poem by ANJALI SINHA

** Great Is Your Name Oh Lord **

Rating: 3.9


GREAT INDEED ARE
YOUR WORKS O LORD
Now and evermore
Heaven and earth
Tell of your wonders
Your praises my lips render
Some find love
some find peace
and some joy
Some others find things
which they have
never found before
And can only
now begin to trust

GREAT INDEED IS
YOUR NAME O LORD
Now and evermore
Summer, winter
rain or snow
The moon the sun
and the courses they take
Join in all
in proclaiming your greatness.
When I see the heaven,
the marvels of the world,
When I see
the wonders of the universe
What is this man
that you should keep him in mind
This mortal sinful man.

GREAT INDEED IS
YOUR LOVE O LORD
You have given me
A safe and loving home
A family who cares
A good job
And all those around
Who love me a lot
You touched me
With bows of burning gold
You pierced me
with arrows of devotion untold
with thy spear of love
you lanced me
And now let burn
my chariot of love on fire.

People may look down on you
And call you names
Maybe they know not
Or feel your omnipresence
Touch them O lord
Let them know you
GREAT IS YOUR LOVE O LORD
Now and ever more

(This poem is a result of being influenced after hearing a hymn during a religious service) .

Happy Easter to all my friends here on Poem Hunter. May the Christ Lord Bless you all profoundly.

This name is the essence of our existence, is the name above all names, the greatest of all who took the lowest shape, mine and yours so that we could be lifted high. He died our death so that we could live his life. Wonderful composition. 10!

its nice way of seeing THE LORD'S WORK IN each of our lives and counting that blessing one by one. if it had not been for THE LORD.. TO SACRIFICE for us.. where would we be today? HIS NAME IS TO BE EXALTED ABOVE ALL. Praise God! may you write more...
