The "Omni"s of God


God is  all-present, all-knowing and all-powerful:  Omnipresent, Omniscient, Omnipotent.
This poem was inspired by a childhood memory I have of Oral Roberts coming on television each Sunday morning and opening his service with the same song: "Greater Is He."  
The lyrics I will never forget are:  

"God is greater than the wisest men
Greater than the pow’r of sin
God is greater than the gates of hell
Greater than any tongue can tell
God is greater than the richest king
Greater than anything
He’s greater (greater), Greater (greater)
Greater (greater), Greater (greater)
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world."
 



The "Omni"s

Imagine, if you will, the tiniest speck of sand on the shore,
Imagine, the largest ocean, then enlarge it even more,
From the tiniest to the biggest, God has his fingerprint there,
He is in every crease and crevice; He is literally everywhere,
He is omnipresent, everywhere at the same time,
God has no bounds, and His presence is sublime,

God knows the number of stars in the sky,
He knows the answers when we wonder why,
God doesn’t reveal to us all of his reasons,
We have to live on faith through all of our seasons,
Our seasons in life will be harder to bear,
If we don’t rely on His loving care,
He is omniscient, all-knowing,
Our sanctification is continuously growing,
Past, present, future: God has the plan for us in mind,
Plans to prosper, not harm; to give hope and a future to mankind,

God is omnipotent too, all-powerful, strong,
Overcoming death, He righted all the wrong,
He created this world into being and can take it back at will,
He defeated the power of sin for us and loves us even still,
Many miracles He performed; He made the blind man see,
Always giving grace to us, He parted the Red Sea,
He walked on water; Turned water into wine,
Sent manna down from Heaven; I’m so glad He is mine!
He fed 5,000 people from 5 loaves and just one fish,
For you to know and trust this God is what I truly wish,

God strengthens us with His meekness,
His power is made perfect in our weakness,
Omnipresent, Omniscient, Omnipotent is our God,
Our God is an awesome God!
