The Name Above Every Name

How to express my experiences, my thoughts and my feelings for God this week? Too great and so abundant that I find it is inexpressible. My words are limited. Therefore I need help. And then I read this beautiful poet today and I want to share with you as my expression of Who God is to me:

The Name Above Every Name

By John H. Sammis

O What is Jehovah El Shaddai to me?

My Lord, God and Savior, Immanuel, He;

My Prophet, Priest, Sacrifice, Altar, and Lamb;

Judge, Advocate, Surety, and Witness, I AM;

My Peace and my Life, my Truth and my Way;

My Leader, My Teacher, my Hope, and my Stay;

Redeemer and Ransom, Atonement, and Friend;

He’s Alpha, Omega, Beginning and End.

Yea more is Jehovah El Shaddai Beside –

Avenger and Shepherd, and Keeper and Guide;

My horn of Salvation, my Captain in war;

My Dayspring, my Sun, and my Bright Morning Star;

My Wonderful Counselor, Wisdom, and Light;

My Shadow by day and my Beacon by night;

Pearl, Ornament, Diadem, Treasures untold;

My Strength and my Sun, in Him I behold.

All this is Jehovah Ropheka and more –

My Bread and my Water, my Dwelling, my Door;

My Branch and Vine, my Lily and Rose;

Rock, Hiding Place, Refuge, Shield, Covert, Repose;

My sure Resurrection, my Glory above;

My King in His beauty, my Bridegroom, my Love;

My All and in all in Christ Jesus I see,

For God hath made Him to be all things to me.

Now say to thy soul, “What is He to thee?”

Jesus is my Lord and Savior
