The Only Lord
The Only Lord
- (Isaiah 45)
Woe to him who quarrels with his Maker,
with statements of Scripture so plain,
using human intelligence, the viewpoint of man
whose standards and morals are vain.
Does the clay say to the potter,
“Let me tell you what to make”?
Woe to him who tells his parents,
“Begetting me was a mistake”.
You are but a broken potsherd,
just a piece, not even whole.
Dare you now advise the Maker
who designed your earthly role?
Says the Holy One of Israel:
It is I who made the earth;
I created man upon it,
and a woman to give birth.
My own hands stretched out the heavens,
marshaled all their starry hosts.
Would you give me working orders,
of superior knowledge boast?
I am God of all creation,
fashioned earth and all therein,
so that it would not be empty,
spoke that life could there begin.
I am Lord; there is no other.
I speak truth, declare what’s right.
I’m a righteous God, a Savior,
redeeming souls from endless night.
Every knee will bow at judgment,
by me every tongue will swear:
“Only in the Lord is righteousness.”
No atheist argues there!
All spiritual descendents of Israel will exult;
the faithful of all nations, every race,
will bask with him in glory and praise his holy name
for the freedom shared through his amazing grace.
