Today... 'Jehovah, The God Of Humankind' Poem by Roy Allen

Today... 'Jehovah, The God Of Humankind'



The vastness of the universe is held within His hands
and time throughout eternity keeps all of His commands.
Omnipotent in His power and wonderful in His ways
He's the Lord God Almighty, the Ancient of all Days.

Enthroned in glorious splendour is Jehovah the Lord;
Creator of earth and heaven by His life giving word.
Who can tell of His majesty or speak of His great might?
For He Who inhabits the heavens is surrounded in light.

Unchanging and unchangeable He's forever the same
all the angels sing His praises and His glory proclaim.
So splendid in His holiness and awesome in His ways
Jehovah, God of Humankind is worthy of all praise.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
If, in the NIV version, the word LORD is printed in capital letters, then the word in the original Hebrew is either 'Jehovah' (or 'Yahweh' in the currently accepted scholarship) or its shortened version 'Jah'. (as in 'Hallelu Jah') 'Lord' translates Adonai.


Jeremiah 32: 27
I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?


All quotations ©NIV

The Bible calls You by many names
each one giving a glimpse of Your glory.
Like a cut diamond radiating in the sun
with every facet depicting an aspect
of Your Divine Nature.
Today I have thought of You as
'The LORD, the God of all mankind'

Very well written. I like the Poet's Notes, alot of people have very little understanding on Bible translations. I've always found it helpful looking into other translations as well as the ancient greek and hebrew behind the text.
