Men build their kingdoms like castles of sand
Heap up their riches and wealth of their hands
You bring them down, like the leaves in the fall
You stand un-phased, as ruler of all
Peoples and empires plotting in vain
Wars will be waged and the borders will change
Nations will crumble, economies fall
You stand un-phased as ruler of all
All authority, all power are Yours
All wisdom, honor and praise
You stand unchanged as the Ancient of Days
O, You stand unchanged as the Ancient of Days
We are like vapor we're here then we're gone
Our lives like a shadow that shifts with the dawn
Peasants and kings, we all give up our bones
but You sit eternal as God on Your throne
Oh You sit eternal as God on Your throne
All authority, all power are Yours
All wisdom, honor and praise
You stand unchanged as the Ancient of Days
O, You stand unchanged as the Ancient of Days
All authority, all power are Yours
All wisdom, honor and praise
You stand unchanged as the Ancient of Days
O, You stand unchanged
O, You stand unchanged as the Ancient of Days
