The 32nd chapter of Deuteronomy is called "The Song of Moses". It begins with these wonderful words: "Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. He is the Rock, His work is perfect: for all His ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is He." (verses 1, 3-4)
It is thrilling to note all the wonderful attributes attached to the name of God in the Scriptures. The Apostle John proclaimed in Revelation 15:3 -- "Great and marvelous are Thy works, Lord God Almighty: just and true are Thy ways, Thou King of saints." It doesn't take long to see and understand that our God is the God who is "all in all" to His people!
He is the God of truth and righteousness --
He is the God of peace and love --
He is the God of patience and comfort --
He is the God of hope and grace --
He is the God of glory and salvation --
He is "Lord of all" in us who belong to Him!!
Perhaps Edgar Lewis was thinking of His wonderful Lord being His everything -- His all in all -- when he wrote this lovely hymn and titled it, "All in All"!
"Of Jesus' love I'm singing; I praise Him every day.
He is my all in all, all in all.
He frees my soul from bondage, He takes my guilt away.
Jesus is my all in all.
He's patient and so tender, so loving and so kind.
He is my all in all, all in all.
Another Friend so faithful my soul will never find.
Jesus is my all in all.
In time of need--no other to me can prove so dear.
He is my all in all, all in all.
He hears me though I whisper; to help me He is near.
Jesus is my all in all.
All in all, all in all,
A Strength in time of weariness, a Light where shadows fall;
All in all, all in all,
Jesus is my All in All."
