I Am was His name when He made the first dame,
To birth and own her own.
And trees’ fruits and flowers were given genetic powers,
To produce exactly what was sown.
I Am was His name (and it’s always STILL the same –
– From everlasting, He is God!)
When He anviled the sun and gave it a course to run,
Over earth’s vast sand and sod.
I Am was His name when the world of past fame,
Was left desolate of its every, first-born.
And God lead His children out (even those with a pout);
Their cloths never suffered from the thorn.
And I Am He still is, in spite of “show biz,”
And Hollywood’s dethronement.
No puny man can e’er assume that glorious throne room,
No, not for a milli-moment.
I Am – what a name! But it really is tame,
For all the Majesty, and Honor, and Might,
Of His eternal Being, so beyond human seeing,
And yet ever lies in faith’s sight. -eab, 11/94
Written while enjoying the pastorate of the Bible Holiness Chapel in (Fall River County) Oelrichs, South Dakota.

“A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” (stanzas 3,4)
And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us:
The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.
That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him Who with us sideth:
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;
The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever.
Written by Martin Luther born 11/10/1483, Eisleben, Germany. Luther saw in the Holy Scriptures that the Just Shall Live By Faith (Hab 2.4, Rom 1.17, Gal 3.11, & Heb 10.38). This revolutionized his life, increased the Reformation (already started at least by John Hus’ time), and caused rejoicing among souls freed from the system of works, works, works.
