Most gas systems use a pilot light ti ignite the gas that is controlled by a solenoid valve
check to see if the pilot light remains lit all of the time or if it is extinguished
it may be that the solenoid valve is not passing gas as required from the controls or the pilot light is going out and the optic sensor is not seeing flame so it turns the gas off
In any case it is not a job for DIY so get in a gas fitter to fix the fault

sounds like the electrical thermostat is defective and is being over ridden by the overheat safety stat.
SOURCE: Water heater with electonic igniter will not work in power outage
What type of heater is this? I need to know the model name and make and then we can go threw the process of how to do it. Most gas heaters do not have power to them and I only know of a few tankless heaters that do.
SOURCE: Rheem water heater, will start but flame lasts 10 seconds
Is the vent fan working well and can you feel unobstructed air out the termination fitting outside?
SOURCE: ECO failure. Replaced the gas control thermostat & vapor sensor
It sounds like your gas/air mixture needs to be adjusted. The flame should have just the slightest amount of white, at the very tip. The rest should be evenly blue. There is an air vent adjustment in the line to the burner, right after the gas input.

I had the same problem with my Paloma a year and a half after installation...contacted Rheem\Paloma\Richman customer service (800-432-8373) and they recommened a local installer in my area. The technican diagnosed the problem as the "flow control valve"; he managed to get Rheem/Paloma to cover the part under warranty...I only had to shell out the money for the install.
