Infinite God,
How can we name you?
What are the right words?
“I am that I am”?
Holy, holy, holy?
Father, Son, and Spirit?
Logos?
Love?
“The only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords. Who alone who has immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see?”
Abba, Father?
Imma, Mother?
Good Shepherd?
Ultimate mystery?
Friend, closer than a brother?
Advocate, Counselor, Comforter?
Yes. All of these,
And countless others.
For you are beyond naming and knowing
But we know you, and love you
As Jesus taught us
As the Spirit intercedes for us
With groans too deep for words.
