Every word is important and specific.
Not "I", because I am nowhere near the level of God.
Not "It", because God is a being/person and not a thing. Not "He", because I sing praises directly to God. I don't go through a middle-man. It is our personal relationship.Not "were", because He lives today.
Not "will be", because it is important that my love for Him is not something that waits.
Not "his" or "her", because I can't ride on other people's relationship with God; I have to seek Him to call him mine.
Not "prophet" or "saint", because God made it all and I cannot belittle Him by compartmentalizing him or restricting His power.
