A Banner of Your Name
Loren K. Elms
Elohim, Elohim, the God Who made and chose me;
Adonai, Adonai, My master and my Kind;
He is my El-Roi, the God Who sees me always,
Jehovah Raah meets my every need,
A Gentle Shepherd Who will love and lead.
He is My El-Shaddai, My All Sufficient Savior,
Righteously covering me Jehovah Tsidkenu,
'Neath His Banner I'll be My Lord Jehovah Nissi,
He leads me to His Secret Place of rest,
And there, beneath His Shadow, I am blessed.
I'll sing Your praise, all my days; and share Salvation's story,
I'll sing Your power every hour; Your wondrous works proclaim,
May the world ever see Your Word at work within me,
And may I never bring Your Kingdom shame.
Lord, make my life a banner of your name!
