More sure than the rising of the sun
Or the setting of it
Is the surety of God’s love
For those who are called by His name
Should the earth fiercely shake
And split at its seams
Though the mountains crumble
At the fierceness and force of the quake
Though fear of men rise up
In an angry voice at God
Though I be thought a fool
Who has lost his mind
Or, perhaps, never had one
As the science of this world
Proclaim the words of God
Dead,
When great wonders in the sky
And on the earth
Are performed by imposters,
Forced to meet with God’s family
In secret
Because those who call themselves tolerant
Cannot tolerate the teachings of God
Surely my earthly possessions will be stolen
Legally
Food and drink to sustain me
Denied to me
Beatings of me shall be deemed justified
A ceiling over my head a mystery
Blood relatives deny me
Those I love murdered
Nerves screaming from endured torture
Struggling for a single breath
Feeling the life of my body ebb away
Then, as now, I will not deny
My Lord Jesus Christ
With songs of praise I will joyfully
Sing with all I am able
At the highest volume I can
I will tell of God’s eternal and unlimited love
Always, forever, will I remain
In the Tower that is God
My body may be savaged
Yet my spirit is safe and secure
In the promises of God
Earthly pleasure can be denied to me
Joy and peace in God cannot
Though all that exists explodes
And is gone,
My God is able to sustain me
In the palm of His hand
Creating oxygen before my nostrils
Before every breath
As my Lord Jesus said
“I have food to eat that you know nothing about”
So it is God, and God alone
Who sustains me
Not the earth or the benefits of it
Neither food or drink
Empty is the air to cause me to live
Life and joy originate in heaven
By God alone am I alive
Forever my joy is based in Him
His love flows steady from His heart
Into mine, creating life and giving liberty
Joy of Him and His love overwhelm me
Dams of bondage and sin break
So that instead of sin flowing
In increasing measure
It is His grace and love
His words that live within me
That cannot be contained within this
Temporary vessel
They flow from me
One sure fact I know
God is Love, Truth and Life
His goodness remains forever
Let all of creation, and every man within it
Be a lie
God is true
Always I must praise God with what He most wants from me
my Love, that began with His
