God's Name

God's Name

A Poem by Gerry Legister
"

the use of different names for our Lord

"

God’s name gives strength when we are weak,

The joy of the lord is with us every day,

Adonai comforts the heart during grief,

And teaches my lips how to pray.



Jehovah-Jireh is my provider,

Satisfying my mouth with good things,

In God’s name, I am enlisted as a soldier,

He renews my health with greater blessings.



Shalom gives me peace inside,

When my soul was acquainted with war,

The terror of conscience running to hide,

In a world fraught with desperation and fear.



El-Shaddai gives my soul reassurance,

His name is a very present help in trouble,

A shadow from the heat and furnace,

His name is in the habitation of justice.



In God’s name we find who we ought,

The sovereign Elohim, is a flame from above,

Come to earth, to redeem broken the heart,

And give captives freedom to live.
