Verse 1

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.

Pre-chorus

It’s like when spring comes: Grass turns green, flowers bloom,

buds sprout, and birds sing; people fill the fields.

Chorus

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.

Verse 2

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.

Pre-chorus

It’s like when spring comes: Grass turns green, flowers bloom,

buds sprout, and birds sing; people fill the fields.

Chorus

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.

Verse 3

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.

Pre-chorus

It’s like when spring comes: Grass turns green, flowers bloom,

buds sprout, and birds sing; people fill the fields.

Chorus

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.

Bridge

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.

Chorus

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.
