Author God

O God, You are the Author of it all,
from nothing You create the universe,
how great You are I can't see, I'm so small,
how wonderful the gifts that You disperse.

You author life and look on it as good,
You authorize the laws of land and sea,
You tell me to obey, I know I should,
the ones You vest with Your authority.

You authorize our children to obey,
and us to teach them better things to choose,
not to rebel against Your loving way,
though they are free to win with You or lose.

O Author great, let me not play the fool,
but realize You're authorized to rule.
