JEHOVAH'S HEBREW NAMES

Jehovah- M'Kaddesh: God is Holy (Leviticus 20:7-8)
In transcendent holiness He reigns alone
No man can stand before him in their sin
A payment must be made to enter in.

Jehovah-tsidkenu: God is Righteous (Jeremiah 23:5-6)
His righteousness reveals man's evil heart
And Hell the price that pride must always pay
If man rejects God's Son, there is no way.

Jehovah-jireh:  God will provide (Genesis 22:14)
A spotless lamb was slain and blood was shed
To picture Christ, our Lamb, a ransom made     
And those who call upon His name, sin's debt is paid.

Jehovah-rapha:  God our healer (Exodus 15:22-26)
For every thirsty soul or wounded heart
He gently calls to share His gift of life   
To comfort and sustain through earthly strife.

Jehovah-rohi:  My Shepherd (Psalm 23:1)
God loves and leads His blood-bought child each day
Where quiet streams and verdant pastures dot the way 
So through His Word and prayer we do not stray.

Jehovah-shalom: God of peace   (Judges 6:23-24)
Before His ascension Christ's promise was made
His Spirit would lead and His peace would remain
But those seeking pleasure are looking in vain.

Jehovah-nissi: God our Banner (Exodus 17:15)
The Armor is given for solders to fight 
No demon from hell can enslave us to sin
For victory is promised, through Christ we will win!

Jehovah-shammah: God is present  (Ezekiel 48:35)
God rules as Sovereign Lord upon His Throne
No matter where He leads, you're not alone
He's always there to guide His very own.
B. Pent
