A Hymn of God's Words | No One Can Fathom
God's Authority and Power
I
Once the words of God are uttered,
His authority takes command
and what He has promised
becomes true step by step.
Changes start to happen
in everything around.
These are the miracles
out of the Creator's hands.
It's like when spring comes:
grass turns green, flowers bloom,
buds sprout, and birds sing;
people fill the fields.
God's authority and power,
unconstrained by time,
by place, person, and matter,
nor by anything.
His authority and power,
man cannot imagine.
They feel it hard to fathom
or fully understand.
II
When God completes His promise,
all things in heaven and earth
renew and change
according to His thoughts.
When He gives His promise,
all things serve its fulfillment.
All creatures are arranged
under His dominion.
Each one plays their own part;
each serves their own function.
This manifests God's authority.
It's like when spring comes:
grass turns green, flowers bloom,
buds sprout, and birds sing;
people fill the fields.
God's authority and power,
unconstrained by time,
by place, person, and matter,
nor by anything.
His authority and power,
man cannot imagine.
They feel it hard to fathom
or fully understand
III
Each display of authority
is a perfect demonstration
of the words He has spoken,
shown to all men and all things.
Everything accomplished
by His authority,
beautiful beyond compare
and utterly flawless.
It's like when spring comes:
grass turns green, flowers bloom,
buds sprout, and birds sing;
people fill the fields.
God's authority and power,
unconstrained by time,
by place, person, and matter,
nor by anything.
His authority and power,
man cannot imagine.
They feel it hard to fathom
or fully understand.
IV
His thoughts, His words,
His work, authority,
all form a picture,
beautiful, incomparable.
For all created beings,
human language cannot
clearly explain
its value and significance.
God's authority and power,
unconstrained by time,
by place, person, and matter,
nor by anything.
His authority and power,
man cannot imagine.
They feel it hard to fathom
or fully understand.
