The Lord, The Lord

Omnipotent  Lord you made all things by the power of your might

You spoke a word and worlds were formed that were pleasing in your sight

You took the dust and formed us so your image we now bear

Your wisdom made for us a way your righteousness to wear.

Oh Lord you’re ever present in each moment and each place

So every where and every thing is not beyond your Grace

There is nowhere we can run from you there is no place to hide

There is no height nor depth beyond the mystery of how in us you abide

You are Holy Holy Holy-You are Righteous, You are right

You are mighty and majestic-You are Love and You are Light

You are the God of mercy, -You are the God of Grace

Compassionate and kind to us -We’re held in your embrace!

Oh Holy and omniscient One you are forever wise

You know our every motive nothing’s hidden from your eyes

You know all things and in and through you all things now consist

Your wisdom casts your vision and by grace it then exists

Your wisdom knows the right thing- by your power it is done

Now there is no separation- in your presence we are one

Reality’s established by your word from first to last.

Your very nature ordains all  that is and comes to pass

You are Holy Holy Holy-You are Righteous, You are right

You are mighty and majestic-You are Love and You are Light

You are the God of mercy, -You are the God of Grace

Compassionate and kind to us -We’re held in your embrace!

Ex 34:6-7

The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children’s children, to the third and fourth generation.
