Today... 'The Creator Of Israel' Poem by Roy Allen

Today... 'The Creator Of Israel'



The Lord your God, Jehovah the Holy One
Created you from Jacob, Abrahams son
And He led you out of your captivity
When He parted a way right through the red sea

Chariots and horses He then overthrew
And covered them with water to protect you
snuffing them out like a wick they disappeared
The Creator of Israel is to be feared

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Isaiah 43: 14-19—14
This is what the LORD says— your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: 'For your sake I will send to Babylon and bring down as fugitives all the Babylonians, in the ships in which they took pride. I am the LORD, your Holy One, Israel's Creator, your King.' This is what the LORD says— he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters, who drew out the chariots and horses, the army and reinforcements together, and they lay there, never to rise again, extinguished, snuffed out like a wick: 'Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.

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 a glorious
aspect of Your Divine Nature.
Today I have thought of You as
'The Creator of Israel'
