Holy Is Not An Adjective

 

...and day and night

they never ceased to say,

"Holy, Holy, Holy,

is the Lord God Almighty,

who was,

and is,

   and is to come."

       Revelation 4. 8

(God doesn't need our praises

          to be God.

but in worshiping Him,

           God changes us.

We realize, comprehend,

      and acknowledge

    the Lord God Almighty,

past, present and future tense.

Holy is not an adjective,

describing what God is like,

   but a noun about who He is.

               God is holy.

Worship changes our hearts,

     our vocabulary,

     our way of living,

     how we work,

     how we treat others,

     and how we see God.

What if day and night

  we never cease

           to repeat out loud,

   not just these words,

   but the reality of them

      in a continual loop.

And what if others 

              overhear us?)

O LORD,

Great power is released

   when we praise You.

You alter our very being,

   softening our hearts,

   changing our minds,

       even our attitudes.

You are holy, O God.

And Your grace covers us.

May we repeat these words

     throughout the day

  and when we awake at night,

that we may know

       and stand in awe.

You are the Almighty One.

There is no other.

Please help others to hear

   and see through us

   that You are real

and You are holy.
