Dear Father God, the Sole “I AM”

Dear Father God

the sole “I AM”—

Surely in heav’n Your name’s proclaimed!

The source of all

and all that’s real!

In You alone are we sustained!

You are the only One who is!

Nothing apart from You is real!

If everything should cease to be

You would exist forever still.

Matter and time and space exist

Only because You made it so

Creating all things from Yourself

For Your own will

formed long ago.

You stretched Your hands and placed the stars

Causing the universe to form;

But

even in its infancy

Newer were You than what was born.

Ancient of old

unworn by time

Fresher than Your creation laid.

No other life is life but Yours;

Your life cannot diminish

fade.

You are beyond all time and space

Inhabiting eternity.

You are the uncreated One

Who is

who was

and e’er will be.

You have no origin or start

No lineage

parents

infancy

No birth

beginning

dawn

or source

Always existing

timelessly.

Your life is indestructible!

Unending! Indissoluble!

There are no limits to Your life!

Eternal

vast

immeasurable!

Alpha

Omega

First and Last

Fuller than all of time itself—

Though time has limits

You do not!

You set the bounds

not bound Yourself!

More mighty than we can conceive

Purposeful in Your heart sublime

Jehovah God whom none perceive

Utterly holy

all divine!

We bow our heads in worship here

Before Your majesty on high

In awe

receiving all You are!

Your life alone we magnify!
