ALL POWERFUL ONE

SCRIPTURE



Luke 4:31-37 (NRSV)


The man with an unclean spirit


He went down to Capernaum, a city in Galilee, and was teaching them on the sabbath. They were astounded at his teaching, because he spoke with authority. In the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice, "Let us alone! What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God." But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him!" When the demon had thrown him down before them, he came out of him without having done him any harm. They were all amazed and kept saying to one another, "What kind of utterance is this? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and out they come!" And a report about him began to reach every place in the region.

ALL POWERFUL ONE



All Powerful One

Cloaked in humanity
Hidden in obscurity
Awash in humility

All Powerful One
At whose Name demons scream
None of us ever dreamed
You’re so much more than you seem.

All Powerful One
Making all things new
No one even had a clue
What you would go through

All Powerful One
Sent to save
So you gave
Your body to the grave
Now, we’re no longer slaves

All Powerful One
Opened heaven’s door
So we could adore
You forever more
Our sin’s been paid for!

All Powerful One
Authority is strong
You are never wrong
I’m right where I belong

For eternity…

All Hail!
The All Powerful One!
