Who scopes the water of the sea?
Merely with the palm of His hand;
And allows the air to flow free,
The birds flying at His command.
Who held all the dust of the earth?
And weighed the mountains on a scale;
Brings every child to birth,
From tiny creatures to a whale.
Who has directed the Spirit?
Instructed as His adviser;
Guarding of what we inherit,
And is also a chastiser.
Who gave Him the understanding?
Who had given Him the wisdom?
The knowledge for comprehending,
Seeing all things from the Kingdom.
The nations are merely a drop,
In the bucket, a speck of dust;
But night and day will never stop,
When in the Lord you put your trust.
All the trees are never enough,
Using to burn an offering;
No matter how life can be tough,
No matter of what you may bring.
All nations amount to nothing,
Considered them less than worthless;
But mercy and grace He does bring,
For comforting us and to bless.
To whom enables to compare,
What statue could you compare God;
The idols that are made and share,
Been nothing more than as a fraud.
We cover with silver and gold,
Worshipping of concrete statues;
Wooden statues rot getting old,
Sacrifices that we pay dues.
The poor people is choosing wood,
That are cheaper and will not rot;
But God enthroned has understood,
With mercy and grace that we got.
