Bound By Nothing (God Most High)

Written June 2006

This song was inspired by Ecclesiastes 1:5-10 and Psalm 119:89, 90, 96. I saw the themes of all creation and generations coming and going, yet God remaining the same. Ecclesiastes says that there's nothing new under the sun -- we come up with ideas, expressions, and new technology, but really God is the source of all this. And when one considers that lots of the things that are really new are just new ways to do something old... well, it's not really not new is it? The only original creator and artist is God. This song celebrates that.

The sun rises and sets, then it hastens to rise once again.
Blowing south the turning north, the wind swirls along and returns.
All the rivers flow to the sea, yet it never fills up, they all flow again.

To all creation, I see a limit.
All you have made is bound with time.
You are eternal, the Everlasting,
Bound by nothing, God Most High, God most High.

A generation comes and goes, yet the earth remains as you made it.
The eye is not satisfied with seeing, the ear not filled with hearing.
That which has been is that which will be
And what has been done will be done again and again and again and again

Bridge: Your word is settled in heaven above all limits, perfection.
Your faithfulness extends through all generations.
