Eternal God

I sit here at my table as I ponder on His Deity.

The weighty textbook by my hand refers to His aseity:

His self-existent independence – at that point we lose the laity,

As they dream of beef and Yorkshires with a relish close to gaiety.

The impassibility of God implies that He is quite immutable;

Untouched by sin or change within: so … truly unimputable;

And even if we choose to ponder, he remains inscrutable,

His sovereign self-determination clearly indisputable.

The ineffable, inestimable, immeasurable infinity

Of the attributes, the character, the nature of divinity

Anticipate in me the total lack of an affinity

With a wholly Other Kind of Being: a three-in-one concinnity.

He is omnipresent, omnipotent, his faculty omniscient:

In each and every circumstance His wise foreknowledge prescient.

Eternal God transcendent, yet through Christ revealed as immanent.

While we await His Sovereign State… is His Parousia imminent?

At every turn I find myself appalled by my aphasia:

So lost for words, I weep, I’d almost welcome euthanasia.

Benevolent and bearded: white; so typical of Caucasia,

My Eternal God. But what of those who worship out in Africa, Eurasia?

Ehyeh asher ehyeh is my patronym eternal

my patronym eternal

patronym eternal

GOD

Ehyeh asher ehyeh is my patronym eternal

I AM WHO I AM
