Counsel that Cannot be Cancelled

"The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: He maketh the device of the people of none effect. The counsel of the Lord standeth forever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations" (Psalm 33:11). "There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand" (Proverbs 19:21). "Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while He was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. Command therefore that the sepulcher be made sure until the third day.... Pilate saith unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can" (Matthew 27:63-65).

The counsel of the Lord shall stand
No matter who opposes,
No matter what His foes have planned,
Or what mankind supposes.

The Lord has risen as He said:
This is the classic case,
Where counsel that supposed Him dead
Was put to a disgrace.

So now whose counsel will you take,
In view of what you've heard?
Remember Pilate's sad mistake,
And trust God's holy Word!
