Greatest Power

God whispers, for He doesn’t need to show
His power, which after all is infinite,
just see the stars and watch the galaxies go,
what greater show of power can you get?

 God made the game, as everybody knows,
He’ll win my soul, unless I choose to lose it,
He could control my life if He so chose,
but great power is used best when you don’t use it.

God gave His greatest power to me--I’m free
to chart and choose and do my destiny,
a choice that lasts for all eternity,
and live my choice to be--or not to be.

You show me, Lord, Your greatest power--You love me,
to choose it, I’ll look not down, but above me.
