Who are You?
Ruler of worlds without number,
You are so close to me
whenever I need You,
with my last breath I whisper
prayers into Your presence.
You never abandon me.
Face to face
some have seen You, but not I.
They wrote down what they saw.
Some think it's a delusion.
But I will not be beguiled,
I will listen to the words of the ancients,
handed down, translated many times.
Some things even damaged at the core?
With the help of the spirit I listen
to the dark life of the ancients.
The revelation explains much to me,
sends other things deep into darkness
or even remains there.
That is what drives me
to boldly ask You questions
to illuminate the darkness.
For in the light You come to Earth
in the glorious majesty of God.
You want me to ask openly,
to tell You honestly
what's on my mind,
even if some call it disrespectful.
It may sound blasphemous at times,
but I also want to sing Your praises.
yahweh
You spoke to Moses on the mount of revelation,
when You revealed the great law to him:
"I am YHWH your God.
who brought you out of the land of Egypt,
out of the house of bondage." (1)
"Yahweh" You said to the prophet.
We, the people, have been hard-pressed
to see what your message was,
charged with strict commandments,
to handle it with care,
and in no wise to take
this name in vain.
So great was the riddle of the sounds
that generations made rules
how people should deal with it
if they do not wish to incur Your wrath.
Is it a code that blows through the wide universe,
when Your holy name is uttered
by a human mouth?
Is power in nuce concentrated in this word,
that when it echoes through the spheres,
devils quake in fearful apprehension,
angels tremble in holy desire
to serve You with all their might,
working good on this earth
in Your name?
Who is Yahweh, the one so often named,
known to His people as the one and only,
worshipped to this day by Jews
while they reject Christ?
Who was it that spoke to the ancients
and brought happiness and adversity
in His name?
Jesus, did You confer with Noah
that floods shall give birth to a new Earth?
Did You Yourself meet Abraham,
and bless him beyond measure?
Was it You who spoke
with Moses face to face
in the name of Yahweh?
Or is it Eli, Your Father,
who acts and walks among men?
Or are You like the boss and his deputy
where everything is Eli's responsibility,
and He often sends You to Earth,
that it may become part of heaven
in His name?
alpha and omega
You say to John on Patmos:
"I am Alpha and Omega,
the first and the last
the beginning and the end." (2)
