God
A name so comprehensive every person that you meet
Has heard or used it often in their home or on the street
Sometimes to bring a blessing for the others who might hear
Sometimes a means of cursing for which one day they will fear
A name with greatest meaning though its letters are but few
The patriarchs of promise saw what speaking it could do
From turning back the armies of the hordes of evil men
To comforting the humble who sought freedom from their sin
From drying up a pathway through the mighty sea's divide
To leading their encampment to a place where they could hide
And spend time learning of Him Who would teach them of His plan
To be for them a Sacrifice to save the soul of man
That name that knows no boundaries in all that it can do
When it by faith has found embrace in folks like me and you
Who seek the grace He offers us each day in morning prayer
With confidence He hears our hearts and keeps us in His care
To be a light to others in the world that they might see
The beauty of what He has done to save humanity
When He despite our wickedness embraced us in His love
And gave to us the greatest Gift His scriptures teach us of
The Gift Who was our Sacrifice and is still to this day
For those who humbly seek His face each morning as they pray
And keep His Holy Spirit close in everything they do
To share the power of heaven's love with all He brings them to
Because His name is perfect perfect for the ones who care
To shed the light He gives to them to people everywhere
To heal the brokenhearted set the sinful captive free
Who choose by faith to grasp His grace and hold divinity
That never fails to love us never fails to hear our call
When we abandon what is past to give to Him our all
And trust that all He offers will not fail for us to be
Exactly what will make us fit for His eternity
Because we've learned to trust in Him as Jesus did before
To let Him make and mold in us what He is looking for
A people formed and fashioned in the path He'd have us trod
The path that Jesus walked before that kept Him close to God
Genesis 1:1; Exodus 14:21-31; Ecclesiastes 3:1-14
