God

I didn’t make the God I serve
Or form the One I worship
I can’t decide the things He likes
Or grant to Him His Lordship

I cannot choose what He believes
Or counsel Him in wisdom
I don’t decide what He accepts
Or help adjust His system

I can’t decide the things He’ll choose
Or redefine His nature
He doesn’t ask what He should do
Or care about my censure

He isn’t taught and doesn’t change
All-knowing, ever present
He’s self-existing, holy, good
Eternal and transcendent

I’m in His image not my own
For He alone has made me
I bow to Him, not Him to me
He’s God – forever worthy

Christina Joy Hommes

“O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been His counsellor? Or who hath first given to Him, and it shall be recompensed unto Him again? For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.” Romans 11:33-36
