2019 English Christian Song “God Is the Sole Sovereign of Man’s Fate”: Knowing God’s Control

[Finesse]

2019 English Christian Song “God Is the Sole Sovereign of Man’s Fate”

1
No matter how far you have walked in your life,
no matter how old you are now,
no matter how long you will stay on your course,
you must recognize God’s authority,
be earnest in knowing He’s your unique Master.
No matter how great one’s abilities are,
one cannot influence the fates of other people,
let alone orchestrate them, or change, or control.
Only the unique God dictates all things for man,
for only He has the authority to rule man’s fate,
and so only the Creator is man’s Master.

2
All should have clear and precise knowledge of
God’s control over man’s destiny.
It’s the key to knowing human life, gaining truth,
the lesson of knowing God every day.
You cannot take shortcuts in reaching this goal.
No matter how great one’s abilities are,
one cannot influence the fates of other people,
let alone orchestrate them, or change, or control.
Only the unique God dictates all things for man,
for only He has the authority to rule man’s fate,
and so only the Creator is man’s Master.

3
You cannot escape God’s sovereignty.
God is man’s only Lord,
He’s human fate’s only Master.
So man never can dictate his own fate;
it’s impossible for him to surpass it.
No matter how great one’s abilities are,
one cannot influence the fates of other people,
let alone orchestrate them, or change, or control.
Only the unique God dictates all things for man,
for only He has the authority to rule man’s fate,
and so only the Creator is man’s Master.

What are your comments on this song?

 

[justbyfaith]

God uses people.

He can use you or me to influence the fates of other people, for certain.

Case in point: the author of this hymn was attempting to influence the fates of other people by changing their pov on this subject.

The sovereignty of God is indeed a searching subject. I do love Ephesians 2 and find it very searching, anyway.
