Still You are God (Poem)

Still You Are God

He answers the call of those who ask of Him

A desperate and needy heart He will never turn away 

His name assures safety, His laws guarantee guidance 

He abhors evil for what it does to men, how it turns flesh to stone 

Before priests and elders, before sages and shamans 

There was One who all things listened to; there was One who spoke and created creation 

Love before there was life and life before there was death

Within this God all things hold together 

Yahweh, Yahweh, no god is like You 

No other god can create, no other god can love 

Therefore I will turn to You

I will pray and listen for You

You are the first councilor, the first guide for men 

You know what is best for You are the greatest 

I trust in Your goodness

Within you lies no evil and no deceit 

Even in the depths of despair 

Even in the muck and the mire

When the voice within sours 

When this heart within toils 

Still You are God 

Still You are Faith 

Still You are Hope 

Still You are Love 

Still You are God
