Self-Sufficiency By Timothy Brindle

Timothy Brindle
 Creatures, there's none awesome
 Like Yahweh, the only Uncaused One
 Nah, none put Him into existence, see
 He always was His own sufficiency
 His glory- He knows it perfectly
 No need of time- He is His own eternity
 True indeed, there's nothing that You would need
 As a Triune, loving community
 The "I AM"—tells His famous NAME
 From the burning bush—the self-sustaining flame
 Free in sovereignty—there's no doubtin'
 He is all He needs—His own FOUNTAIN!
 You need none-You're independent
 Impossible for You to have discontentment
 Because in Yourself—You're full of pleasure
 Oh God, You are Your own Holy treasure!
 In Yourself, You have all power and might
 In Yourself, You are the fountain of life
 With no lack—none else can give to Thee
 You're fulfilled in Your self-sufficiency
 In Yourself, You have all power and might
 In Yourself, You are the fountain of life
 With no lack—none else can give to Thee
 You're fulfilled in Your self-sufficiency
 To speak of God in need would be absurd
 As Tozer said, "need is a creature word"
 Worthy of authentic worship
 We can't add to God- He's already perfect
 But Father, Spirit, Son, yes—all of You
 Chose to create—just because You wanted to
 Even though LORD—You don't need us
 It pleased You to show Your glory to creatures
 The Son—the Word of Life- He speaks forth
 The Spirit—the Breath of Life- no weak force!
 Of all Life—the living God is the source
 So to create—He needed no resource
 How we love this profound discussion
 That God made all things out of nothing!
 Ex Nihilo!
 How may tools did You use to create? Yup, it's zero bro!
 It pleased You to create, by shoutin'
 Into existence every lake and mountain
 And snake and falcon
 Then You made human beings and with the greatestfavor crowned them
 You sustain all things—a gracious fountain!
 Providing rain by gallons for daisies sproutin'
 But all of this didn't add anything to God—
 Absolutely nothing changed about Him!
 In Yourself, You have all power and might
 In Yourself, You are the fountain of life
 With no lack—none else can give to Thee
 You're fulfilled in Your self-sufficiency
 In Yourself, You have all power and might
 In Yourself, You are the fountain of life
 With no lack—none else can give to Thee
 You're fulfilled in Your self-sufficiency
 Yo this is hectic
 Since Adam disrespected Him who is the blessed
 From the life of God, we're disconnected
 We turn to idols for life- we're wicked, wretched
 And we're all disgusting, evil in our flesh
 And God would be just to leave us in our death
 And there's only One who can reconnect us
 To the source of life and oh, He is precious!
 The LORD can give life or choose to kill
 The Lord Christ gives life to whom He will
 Because, like the Father, He has life in Himself
 So He is the resurrection, I'm hyper to tell
 Behold the infinite love of Jehovah
 For wicked, lifeless sinners—bubblin' over!
 When the Author of Life done offered His life
 Upon the cross- it's God slaughtered and sliced
 The Immortal One became mortal to die
 Born to be torn for our horrible lies,
 And sexual immorality
 So trade Him your death–for His Immortality
 The death of death in the death of Christ
 Now we live with Him in resurrection life
 Now we're righteous because Christ was crushed
 The Holy Spirit is Christ's life in us
 By the Word of Life, we're alive and we're full
 It's renewing our minds—and reviving our soul!
 So come daily to the Giver of this Life
 And drink deeply from His River of Delights
 When making mistakes or faint in our strength
 From His fulness receive grace upon grace
 From lifeless idols, let's turn to Christ
 Who is Himself the eternal life!
 In Yourself, You have all power and might
 In Yourself, You are the fountain of life
 Even though the Father doesn't need us
 Yet to You, God, we're worth the blood of Jesus!
 In Yourself, You have all power and might
 In Yourself, You are the fountain of life
 So savor the Savior
 Because to know Him is the Life we were made for!
