I liked your poem. But what i did not like about it was that the first two lines were extremely longer then the rest of your poem. It made it flow awkwardly. You could probably expand more on your other lines, or even make your poem longer to get you point across more solidly. I was also wondering why the word your was capitalized. If it is like that for a reason, very nice, if it isn't you might want to fix it. Finally I really like the final verse where it says:
This is our God,
Our God Reigns, our God reigns,
Forever Your Kingdom reigns!


It is repetitive and I had to read it again to comprehend the switch between our, and your. Haha do you understand me? Probably not. That is okay. I am new to critiquing so do not take me to seriously. I enjoyed reading your poem.

keep up the good work.

I agree on the point raised about the first two lines, but I didn't feel like the first one did too much damage too the flow, so I suggest you change that, perhaps expanding it into four lines somehow? Anyway, I liked the expression that he is the most powerful being thinkable, and that his might makes already incredible things such as the lions of dolphins shine with pride at being part of his kingdom. I didn't see any spelling or grammatic errors, other than the Your part, but I wouldn't know much about that.

The lions roar for your brilliance,

Your glory shining bright like a lions main.


This was my favorite line.

Our God Reigns

Over the seas Your brilliance is shown in the dolphins jumping for joy,
Your joyful gladness has possessed me to dance like dolphins on sea top.
Nice images.

The lions roar for your brilliance,
Your glory shining bright like a lions main. You have a crush on lions... Oh, come on, admit it.. ;) I'm trying to say that is not well pulled repetition.

The mountains stand tall and strong,
Expressing Your strength and might to the land below. So, that means he didn't create land? Just mountains? From this I think definitely that the land is just god's playground.

This is our God,
Our God Reigns, our God reigns, repetitive
Forever Your Kingdom reigns! You know, God's children shouldn't have such a violent ideas. Reign? Some "softer" word, please.


My opinion: This poem should be longer, like an ode or something. If you worship your god, sing to him in the greatest verses,cherish his glory..I lost myself now. This is like a exotic prayer! That's what flew through my mind while reading it.
Dreams they come and go...ever shall be so...



I didn't know beards could do that ;)
