Verse 1

The authority of God

does not flicker on and off,

neither does it come and go.

Nobody can measure

just how great and just how strong it is.

Verse 2

When God gives one a promise,

doesn’t matter what they do,

where they live, or their background

before or after the promise,

before or after the promise,

He’s familiar with everything.

Pre-chorus 1

Doesn’t matter how their life’s changed,

God knows what’s going on.

Doesn’t matter how their life’s changed,

God knows what’s going on.

Chorus

When God blesses a person,

doesn’t matter how much time, how much time goes by,

this blessing will continue.

This proves God’s boundless authority.

It allows mankind to see

the Creator’s life force that remains

so unfailing and sublime,

it reappears time and time again.

Verse 3

Doesn’t matter how much time

has gone by since God said something,

it feels to Him like it just, like it just happened.

With power and authority,

God can keep track of everything.

Verse 4

He can control and realize

each promise He, each promise He ever makes.

Doesn’t matter what promise it is,

or how long it takes to complete,

or how broad its scope may be,

or how broad its scope may be.

Pre-chorus 2

God’s promise will be fulfilled.

Yes, it’ll always be achieved.

Yes, it’ll always be achieved.

Chorus

When God blesses a person,

doesn’t matter how much time, how much time goes by,

this blessing will continue.

This proves God’s boundless authority.

It allows mankind to see

the Creator’s life force that remains

so unfailing and sublime,

it reappears time and time again.

Bridge

God will realize His promise,

it costs Him no effort at all.

This proves His power and authority

control mankind and the universe,

mankind and the universe.

Chorus

When God blesses a person,

doesn’t matter how much time,

how much time goes by,

this blessing will continue.

This proves God’s boundless authority.

It allows mankind to see

the Creator’s life force that remains

so unfailing and sublime,

it reappears time and time again,

it reappears time and time again.
