God
God, Almighty and Invisible
came to earth becoming visible.
God, the Eternal and Immortal
condensed Himself to a mere mortal.
God, Omniscient and Only Wise
came to us dressed in our human guise.
God, Who is Incomprehensible
was born as a Babe in Bethlehem’s stable.
God of the heavens and the Divine
took on a body like this of mine.
God, Powerful and Omnipotent
tabernacled in an earthly tent.
What great mystery of godliness
God, Jehovah manifest in flesh.
For the fullness of God I can see
in the Christ Who came and died for me.
'My Lord and my God', I cried aloud
when He moved aside His human shroud.
My eyes were opened and I could see
Jesus' Godhood and full Deity.
For the One Who is the Living Word
I've come to know as my God and Lord.
In Him the Godhead I have perceived
and stopped all my doubting and believed.
