917 All Things Live and Perish by God’s Authority
Verse 1
“The authority of God”
means that it is up to God.
God has the right to decide
just how something will be done,
and it is done in whatever way He wishes.
God decides the law of all things.
This law is not up to man
and man cannot alter it.
Can’t be moved by the will of man,
but it is changed by God’s thoughts, wisdom and orders.
Pre-chorus
This is a fact undeniable to any man.
Chorus
No person, no object
can change the laws of all things
or the course by which they function.
They came into being
by the authority of God,
and perish because of the same.
This is the very authority of God.
Verse 2
The heavens, earth and all things,
the universe, the starry sky,
the four seasons of the year,
things invisible, things clear,
they all exist, they all function and they all change,
without the slightest error,
under God’s authority,
according to His orders
and to God’s commandments, too,
to all His laws of the beginning of creation.
Pre-chorus
This is a fact undeniable to any man.
Chorus
No person, no object
can change the laws of all things
or the course by which they function.
They came into being
by the authority of God,
and perish because of the same.
This is the very authority of God.
This is the very authority of God.
