Story Behind The Song
When I first moved to Kauai after a heart breaking divorce, I felt like I was cracking up. I tried to go to church, but was so "un-christ-like" at the time... drowning my sorrows in various things... but God invaded my and gave me all these verses in one or two shots. I wept with gratitude that something good could still come from Him through the likes of me.

Lyrics
Oh God of all creation, Your constant love and care
Creates for You a nation, who lift their hearts in prayer
Your mercies oh our Father, continue through our days
And change our deep rebellion, to worship love and praise
Our struggles and our failures, they only serve to show
How deeply we're in need of Thee, how constant is our foe
But triumph bought by Jesus, supplied by His own veins
Brings torrents of deliverence, surpassing worldly gains
So help of Holy Father, to rise up from our sins
Your tenderness and goodness, coverts us deep within
And when this life is over, let us stand and proclaim
Redemption was not our work, but lied wholly in Your name
And now our daily sojurn, can seem confused and dim
So all the more we need Thee, Oh Shepherd draw us in
Remind us oh our Father, how conquering is your love
Your plans shall surely triumph, on earth and heaven above
The vilest offender weakens, Your enemies shall bow
And every tongue and tribe will say that "You are reigning now"
Please reach us oh our Father, and keep us in your ways
Till eternal Sabbath welcomes us, to an eternity of praise.....
To the god of all creation...
The god of all creation
