The Word

Glory to Your name! Everlasting One He that dwellest in a place called The Solitary Location So profound, we cannot locate it We could only write it as The Secret Place And therein in the ages past Deities have shown up Buddha tried 'Muhammed' attempted There was Krishna And there was the Bahá'í None could qualify to have the title, Holy It seems not to work It seems not to sound right There's no word that says holy Buddha But Thou art a God that are Holy (come on) It's Your title, it's who You are (Amen) The Everlasting One, that sat in a place called All in One Spoke before time began He that constituted all things but has no (hey) constitution Himself (come on) He that sustains all things but is not sustained by any other You surprise the existence of time By showing up, saying, "In the beginning, God"
