Knowing This.....

Still by the wayside Seed will fall
Plagued with famine and drought
Though man may hear Salvation’s call
His heart remains in doubt

Will not The living Christ The Lord
Not keep His promise made?
Will not God raise His mighty sword?
And fight who truth invade

Satan may use each devious ploy
May tempt us with his wares
Yet through salvation’s strength and joy
We’ll flee his wicked snares

Nothing can sever from Christ one’s pledge
Nothing can pull us down
But we ourselves can form the wedge
That parts us from life’s crown

While knowing this and still believe
The message of The Cross
Who can the devil now deceive?
Causing such painful loss

The fight is on that we can win
When by The Lord we stand
If when we turn away from sin
Within our Master’s hand

The hand they pierced upon The Tree
The hand still stretched out wide
Seeking each soul He yet can free
To safely bring inside

I’m here my God, in You; I trust
Your Holy Will be done
Take up this child You made from dust
In You my war is won. ....
