Author of Authority

"As for our transgressions, Thou shalt purge them away.... Which by His strength setteth fast the mountains, being girded with power.... They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at Thy tokens: Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice" (Psalm 65:3-8). "By what authority doest Thou these things? And who gave Thee this authority to do these things?" (Mark 11:28).

Who gave to God His power vast?
It was forever His!
He is the Author of the past,
Of what will be, and is!

Who gave Him His authority
To do all He has done?
That awesome right eternally
Pertains to God the Son!

Who gave to Christ the righteousness
To purge our sins as dross?
He earned that right to save and bless
By dying on the cross.
