Oh How Great

A poem based on Isaiah 12:6:
Cry out and shout,
O inhabitant of Zion,
For great is the Holy One of
Israel in your midst!

Oh how great You are!
You are Magnificent and Mighty.
You are the Holiest of Holy.
Your Power and Might are Awesome.

Oh how spotted am I!
I am weak and lowly.
I am undeserving of grace.
I am in need of Your forgiveness.

Oh how great is Your mercy!
You are Just and Forgiving.
You offered us Salvation.
Your compassion is hard to grasp.

Oh how great is Your Love!
You are Caring and Patient.
You offered us Your Son.
Your Son died for my sins.

Oh how great is Jesus!
He is God and Man.
He lived a perfect life.
He died on the cross, but now is risen.

Oh how I need You.
I need Jesus as my Saviour and Guide.
I need Your Word.
I need You as my Provider - as my God.

Oh how great You are!
