Why God Is Great

God is not great because He shaped the stars,
because He formed the flowers and the sun,
for forging Jupiter, the moon and Mars,
but for His Personhood of Three in One.
God is not great for offering us heaven or hell,
nor great because He rules from heaven above,
nor for His victory when Lucifer fell,
but for my soul made capable of love.
God did not make me great to be a king,
nor make me free just so I could be free,
nor free to shop and buy most everything,
but free to love Him back for loving me.
You’re great, O God, because You love and care,
and we’re both great for this great love we share.
