Verse 1

The passing of ages, nature’s changes,

and social growth

all follow the three stages of work.

Mankind doesn’t develop on its own,

it changes with God’s work.

The three stages of work are meant to bring

all creatures to God.

Regardless of your religion,

you’ll submit under God’s dominion ultimately.

Pre-chorus 1

Only God Himself can do this work;

no religious leader has the power.

They can’t guide the people of the universe,

who are guided by just one God.

Religious heads are only leaders,

and with God they cannot stand equal.

Chorus 1

All things are in the Creator’s hands,

they’ll end up in their Maker’s hands.

No matter what their religion,

people will return under God’s dominion.

God is the Highest of all things.

Even those who run the world are ruled by Him.

No one can lead men to their proper endings,

or according to kind class all things.

Verse 2

One who cannot create the world

can’t bring it to its close.

Only One who created it

is able to guide it to its end.

So those who can’t end the age and

can only cultivate man’s mind,

they won’t be God or Lord of mankind.

Pre-chorus 2

Only God Himself can do this work;

those who can’t are His foes, not God.

Evil religions aren’t compatible with God;

since they’re not in harmony, they’re His enemies.

Chorus 2

God is the Highest of all things.

Even those who run the world are ruled by Him.

No one can lead men to their proper endings,

or according to kind class all things.

Bridge

Only one true God commands the universe.

As the Spirit or the flesh, He does His work throughout the world,

and because He’s the God of all mankind,

He works freely without constraints.

Chorus 3

God is the Highest of all things.

Even those who run the world are ruled by Him.

No one can lead men to their proper endings,

or according to kind class all things.

Outro

Jehovah Himself created mankind,

He classed them by their kind, and no one else can.

And when the end time finally arrives,

He’ll class all things Himself, for no one else can.
