Nathaniel Bassey - You Are God - From The Beginning to the End : No Place For Argument Lyrics
Lyrics
You are God from beginning to the end
There's no place for argument
You're God all by Yourself
You are God from beginning to the end
There's no place for argument
You're God all by Yourself
You've got times and seasons in Your hands
You called for Light out of darkness
You don't need a man to be The God You are
But you have chosen to call Me Your own
You are God from beginning to the end
There's no place for argument
You're God all by Yourself
You've got times and seasons in Your hands
You called for Light out of darkness
You don't need a man to be The God You are
But in your mercy you have called us Your own
You are God from beginning to the end
There's no place for argument
You're God all by Yourself
You are God from beginning to the end
There's no place for argument
You're God all by Yourself

Meaning & Inspiration
Nathaniel Bassey’s compelling declaration, "You Are God - From The Beginning to the End : No Place For Argument," released on October 2, 2016, stands as a foundational anthem in contemporary worship. This song transcends mere melody, serving as a profound theological assertion, firmly rooting believers in the unshakeable truth of God’s absolute sovereignty and eternal nature. It’s a bold statement, born from a spirit of worship that acknowledges the unquestionable reality of the Divine, challenging any earthly attempt to diminish or dispute His supreme authority.
The heart of the message reverberates through the repeated affirmation: "You are God from beginning to the end, there's no place for argument, You're God all by Yourself." This powerful opening immediately establishes God as the Alpha and Omega, echoing scriptural truths found in Revelation 1:8, where God proclaims Himself as "the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End." It reflects the ancient declaration in Isaiah 44:6, where God states, "I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no God." The phrase "no place for argument" isn’t just a dismissal of debate; it’s an emphatic declaration of a self-evident truth, much like how Psalm 90:2 asserts God’s eternal existence: "Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God." He is not a deity subject to human reasoning or validation; His existence is inherent and complete.
Further expanding on this divine self-sufficiency, the song proclaims, "You've got times and seasons in Your hands," and "You called for Light out of darkness." These lines vividly illustrate God's command over all creation and history. Daniel 2:21 confirms this, stating, "He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning." The act of calling light out of darkness directly references Genesis 1:3, where God simply commanded, "Let there be light," and there was light, showcasing His unassisted creative power. This capability is reinforced by 2 Corinthians 4:6, which speaks of "the God who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness.'" Together, these statements solidify the understanding that God operates outside the confines of human limitation, orchestrating all things without needing counsel or assistance, as profoundly articulated in Isaiah 45:5-7.
The lyrical turning point, and perhaps the most deeply moving aspect, arrives with the recognition, "You don't need a man to be The God You are," followed by the tender truth, "But you have chosen to call Me Your own" and "But in your mercy you have called us Your own." This transition is pivotal. It first establishes God’s absolute independence and self-sufficiency, a concept echoed in Isaiah 40:13-17, which asks, "Who can fathom the Spirit of the Lord, or instruct the Lord as his counselor?" God does not require human input or support to maintain His divinity. He is complete in Himself. Yet, in an astonishing act of grace, this all-powerful, self-sufficient God *chooses* to enter into a relationship with humanity. This mercy is profoundly Biblical, reflecting John 15:16, where Jesus tells His disciples, "You did not choose me, but I chose you." It speaks to the adoption we receive through Christ, becoming "children of God" (Romans 8:15-17), and highlights the truth of Ephesians 1:4-5, that God "chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ." This divine choice, rooted in pure mercy (Titus 3:5), transforms the worshipper's perspective from awe of God's power to deep gratitude for His personal love.
Nathaniel Bassey’s "You Are God" serves as an enduring call to worship, urging those who encounter it to lay aside doubt and fully embrace the majesty of a God who is both eternally sovereign and intimately merciful. It compels believers to anchor their faith in an immutable Creator, finding peace in His unchangeable nature, while simultaneously fostering profound gratitude for His decision to claim them as His own. The song’s strength lies in its unyielding focus on theological truths, making it far more than just music; it’s a spoken sermon, a sung creed, powerfully affirming God’s matchless identity and His boundless grace for all generations.
