                                 Sovereign God


                                 a
            God is eternally nameless
            Simple and subtle
                           b
            No one can take hold of Him

                                           c
            If powerful leaders can hold on to God
            All will worship Him on their own
                                               d
            The Heavens and Earth will be harmonious
            Good fortune will rain from above
            People will naturally live in peace without using force

            In the beginning of creation the primal simplicity differentiated
                        e
                 with names
            Different names begin to increase with complexity
            One must know when to stop
            Knowing when to stop prevents danger

            Everything is born of God and will return to Him    f
            Like the rivers of the land flowing into the ocean
                                                  g
