He Is All

We were uniquely made by the hands of a pro
with a single breath of air to set us on the go
like a man controls a puppet, we could have been
but instead He gave free will to all women and men.

The will to choose and to do whatever we please
with the hopes that we would remember our maker 
and bow down on our knees.

He could have directed our move in every way
but decided to allow us to go about on our own from
day to day.

It is not by our will that we continue to get by
but by his heavenly hand that leads us from the sky
Reverence the Lord with all of your might
because after all He is the day and night.
