Would you invent a God like this?

A Being greater far than man,
a Being greater than we can
envision, comprehend, conceive
– if He instructs, we must believe.

That such a One should be triune,
three persons in one Godhead – none
should say impossible – indeed
would anyone invent such creed?

So is it really a surprise
that He should come as man all-wise
and good, and claim divinity,
yet with His Father, unity?

And that He’d send His Spirit to
teach people’s hearts and make them new
– one God so great – He says He is
a wondrous triune God like this!

“The God who answers by fire, He is God.”

1 Kings 18:20-46

They called on Baal
to burn the bull –
they called and bawled,
but no fire fell.

But God sent fire
that was not quenched,
burned up the bull
which had been drenched.

The people, awed
turned away from Baal
to God the Lord
who does not fail.

Then came the rain
they needed so –
His power again
makes grace to flow.

Tune: LM eg tune of ‘I know that me Redeemer lives’
