An Acrostic
of
E L O H I M
A Name of God
meaning
All Powerful One, Creator
E
Everything that moves, on earth, in water and in sky,
Elegantly proclaiming the awesome glory of God on high
Eyes lifting to heavenly realms where
crimson, saffron, and indigo colors delight
Everywhere in splendor as the sun sets low giving me
the inky black and star studded night for a respite.
ELOHIM,
All powerful One, Creator
From the mysteries of the Hubble photos to the magnificence
of deep sea creatures hidden through the ages but revealed in my time
You bless me with your resplendent world.
L
Lord and Master of the cosmos You created and detailed in wonder
Lovingly You brought it forth with flashes of light and crashes of thunder
Looking forward to forming Your children from all eternity;
creating them for fellowship with You.
Leading me on to know Your love, by my side,
guiding me to grow in wisdom
and virtue
ELOHIM,
All powerful One, Creator
Creator of your wondrous universe and of those
You made in Your image and likeness.
O
Oh Lord, what did I do to merit such an astronomical reward
and extraordinary regard
Of you obliterating from Your memory that I am sinful and quite scarred
Overlaying my repented wickedness with your boundless sensibility and
limitless tenderness of action
Opening the way to help me prepare and inviting me to live
with You in your eternal heavenly mansion.
ELOHIM,
All powerful One, Creator,
You gave your Son to live on earth to guide, to teach,
and to offer me salvation.
H
Hearing my cries to You, oh God, You show me how to hearken to your voice
Helping me to grow in the ways of Your love, I choose
and in you I will always rejoice
Hope is the gift You have provided me which empowers my faith
in things dreamed of but still unseen
Healing my despair and giving me boldness to expect, that the day when my
my time to become truly eternal will at last convene.
ELOHIM,
All powerful One, Creator,
You prepare a place for me to joyfully live
with You in perpetuity.
I
Infinite, immeasurable, inestimable, demonstrating glory beyond
my ability to to have comprehended.
Immensity of your love and generosity such that any understanding
that I might have, in heaven finally will be mended
Injustice happens, and though I wonder why, I know that my promise is not
earthly, it will be part of my future guaranteed assurance
I will be with you forever in the heavenly gardens
filled with Your sweet fragrance.
filled with Your sweet fragrance.
ELOHIM,
All powerful One, Creator,
You are beyond my ability to grasp, which gives me such love
as with my limited human ability I can achieve.
M
Maker of all that is good, filled with kindness, and a desire for blessing me
Madness is in this world, but You have given me tools
to overcome it and a heightened ability
Magnanimous is a pale word to describe all that You do for me
and for all Your children to come to that magnetic
Moment when we will arrive at your celestial gates because with your
support we will have won all our earthly combats.
ELOHIM,
All powerful One, Creator,
I wait down here on earth for the day when I will meet You
face to face and sing Your praises with fellow citizens of paradise.
