QUIET TIME
by Susan Lenzkes, from 'Life is Like Licking Honey Off a Thorn'

You wrote Your glorious name
across the heavens and it read
ELOHIM - The Creator

You pronounced Your holy name
to Your people and it was
YAHWEH - Lord of Relationship

You posted Your powerful name
at life's valleys and dead-ends and it was
EL SHADDAI - All Sufficient God

You spoke Your lovely name
into fears and conflicts and it was
JEHOVAH SHALOM - The Lord Our Peace

You whispered Your compassionate name
into sorrow and brokenness and it was
JEHOVAH JIREH - The Lord Provides

You signed Your most beautiful name
in blood upon our hearts and it was
JESUS - Jehovah is Salvation
