The Lord is God. There is no other.
He's infinite in being and perfection.
He is not dependant on another.
His essence is beyond all comprehension.
He alone has immortality.
He is a most pure spirit invisible.
Immutable and most holy
He works all things according to his counsel.
A God most wise, infinite, and free
Who's dwelling is in light unapproachable
Who's full of splendor and of glory
Unending, without beginning, eternal
A patient God who's longsuffering
One who forgives and pardons iniquity
Who's merciful, good, and loving,
Yet just and will by no means clear the guilty.
A God who alone is all-knowing
There's nothing that is hidden from His sight.
The Lord is powerful, almighty.
He's immeasurable in strength and matchless in might.
The Lord is completely sovereign,
Most holy in all His works, counsels, and plans.
He has dominion over all creation.
He deserves our worship and obedience to His commands.
In this one God are three persons,
All one in power, attributes, and eternity.
There are three persons but no divisions.
Each with different roles but equal in divinity.
(I used the "1689 Baptist Confession of Faith" edited by Peter Masters as a guide for this poem. I do not, however, affirm the impassibility of God. Thus, I did not include this doctrine in my poem. I have not found this doctrine to be biblical. Wayne Grudem's "Systematic Theology" is very helpful on this subject. He explains were this doctrine came from and why it is not Biblical.)
