In God Is Our Strength
It's a troubled world
we live in
and we wish that we
might find
Not only happiness of
heart
but longed-for peace
of mind.
But where can we
begin our search
in the age of
automation
With neighbor against
neighbor
and nation against
nation.
Where values have no
permanence
and change is all
around
And everything is
"sinking sand"
and nothing
"solid ground."
Have we placed our
faith in leaders
unworthy of our
trust?
Have we lost our own
identity
and allowed our souls
to rust?
Have we forgotten
Babylon
and Egypt, Rome and
Greece,
And all the mighty
rulers
who lived by war, not
peace.
Who built their
thrones and empires
on power and man-made
things
And never knew
God's
Greatness
or that He was KING
OF KINGS?
But we've
God's own
promise,
so let us seek a goal
That opens new vistas
for man's eternal
soul.
For our strength and
our security
lie not in earthly
things,
But in
Yeshua the Lord who died for us
and rose as KING OF
KINGS!
