Olodumare

 

Olodumare,
All-powerful, without limit,
The King who stands above all, beside none 
Alone, yet present in everything.
Creator of heaven and earth,
The Source from which all power flows,
From whose breath the world arose,
And by whose will the stars found their place.
Distant beyond imagination,
Yet nearer than the breath within us,
Hidden from sight, yet sustaining all sight,
The unseen center of all that is seen.
Giver of life,
The One who breathed spirit into dust,
Who formed the body and filled it with being,
Turning clay into living soul.
No eye has seen You,
Yet every eye exists because of You.
No ear has heard You,
Yet every sound echoes Your command.
Governor of all creation,
Keeper of the balance of the universe,
Where galaxies move in silent obedience,
And seasons unfold by Your design.
Untouched, untainted, unapproachable,
No hand can reach You,
No mind can contain You,
No force can challenge You.
Invisible, yet undeniable,
Incomparable in majesty,
Beyond the heavens that declare Your glory,
Beyond the earth that rests in Your will.
The Source of all sources,
The Beginning before beginnings,
The End beyond endings,
Eternal without measure.
None is like You,
In power, in wisdom, in being.
Time itself moves beneath You,
And eternity flows from You.
Words cannot fully speak You,
The mind cannot fully know You,
Yet all existence points to You.
And so we stand in awe 
Breathing what You have given,
Living within what You have made,
Held by what we cannot comprehend.
Before the Untouched Creator,
The Silent Sovereign,
The Ever-Present, Ever-Beyond
Olodumare.
