I hope your theology is not based on this song, but it actually does little to support your point. The writer says that, "
You are not a God,
In need of anything we can give." Of course that is true. What do I own that God could actually own? Who would vainly think that God needs my money?
This song is written from a common OT view of idolatry. Idols are made with hands, God is made by no one. Idols need man to make them, God does not. From that point of view, man must realize that he and his idols are nothing, and that God is everything.
This is a common Bible theme spoken to proud man. Romans 11 reiterates the notion ...
"Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor? Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them?"
