Authority
The Bible is the Word of God and this I won't deny
And every word that's found therein is meant for us to try
To understand and comprehend how it relates to us
Who claim to have the promises and in our God to trust
But many in this day we live feel they have right to be
The ones who are expositors of all things that they see
There written by the hand of God upon each holy page
As though they have authority because they are of age
Or for their education they believe endorses them
As wise and worthy messengers to teach the world of Him
Who is the God eternal no beginning and no end
Our Father our Redeemer our Defender and our Friend
As though by man's authority God cannot live in those
Who are His humble messengers that He alone has chose
To be the channels of His grace for all the world to see
That He alone determines who will have authority
That moves the mighty mountains of obstruction in the way
Of how the work of God is meant to be shared everyday
Through those who seek Him on their knees where He is always found
In personal devotions known by us as Holy ground
Where our true education for the work of God is learned
And where the true authority before all men is earned
From Him Who has authority and is the Light of them
Who love and are abandoned to the will and ways of Him
And those who have authority from God and God alone
Who humbly seek to share God's Truth as His will should be known
Seek not the praise of other men for praise is not their friend
As those who live to have men's praise will meet their final end
For those with true authority that comes from God alone
Still see themselves as faulty as they kneel before God's throne
And dare not lift themselves above the others that they see
For fear they fail to be God's light to His authority
That's found alone in scriptures not the ways of evil men
No matter their traditions that they lead the people in
For only in God's scriptures can we ever hope to find
The Truth for Life eternal for our body soul and mind
Luke 18:9-14; 1Thessalonians 5:9-24; Titus 2:11-15
