When we look around us or even when we look within, our hearts could turn to despair, sorrow and pain were it not for this truth. God’s Word will Forever Stand. Throughout history, His Word has stood firm, faithful and true. His plan was to create a people who would love Him and on whom He could pour forth His love, His joy, and His Glory. But for that love to be complete, they must have choice. And so, He has watched throughout the ages as men chose to leave; but His plan never has been thwarted at all. He is Sovereignly in control and His promises will remain forever.
Just as we have been learning from Isaiah and our studies in the old Testament. All that He has promised, He has fulfilled. The same is true for us today who know Him and Savior and King, God’s Word will Forever Stand.
God’s Word will Forever Stand
I hear the clamoring sounds of those
Who want their voices heard
How can I know Lord what is true?
Unless I seek Your word
The bells they toll for such as I
Whose life so minuscule
So weak and frail, beneath the veil
So often just a fool
If not for you, my Lord and King
Who reigns upon your throne
How was it that you loved me so
You called me as Your own
To be your child, redeemed I am
Though nothing I proclaim
No goodness, wealth do I possess
No power and no fame
And yet dear Lord with all my scars
The darkness in my soul
Deserving only death I am
For whom the bells should toll
Despite this truth, You loved me so
You paid the price for me
And claimed me as your precious bride
You came to set me free
Then far beyond what I could hope
You did not leave me there
Instead you promised by Your word
I am your plan so rare
How can you take me as I am
And with Yours hands of Grace
Transforming me, reflecting You
As I gaze upon Your face
To think You took my scars and pain
And yet to only see
The beauty of Your Son Divine
In all His Splendorous Glory
Oh, people stop your clamoring lies
As heard across this land
Have you not heard, have you not seen?
He will accomplish all He planned
So, stand firm upon His word of truth
Repentant for your sin
Seek Him with your heart and soul
Then healing can begin
And if His judgement fall on us
For all that we have done
This nation crumbling to abyss
For abandoning His Son
Then, let the faithful remnant sing
Their song of Joyous Praise
As on the wings of eagles
He will our spirits raise
I hear the clamoring sounds of those
Who want their voices heard
God’s righteous hand will hold me firm
Forever held, my anchor firm
Held fast by His own Word
