Words get stale, laden with the dust of casual usage. Might "God" and "Lord" have suffered that fate. Moses asked God in the burning bush, "What's your name?" God answered "I AM." The Jews used that name for many years, but about 400 years before Jesus they stopped saying it out loud, lest they lose the sense of awe that should surround it. Some Catholic theologians have suggested that we start using another name for God. I have written a hymn in which I do not use "God" or "Lord" to address the Holy One. I use "Love."
You are Love Who power the universe, evolving over time.
