Nullifying Nearness

"They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from Thy law. Thou art near, O Lord, and all Thy commandments are truth" (Psalm 119:150,151). "Every word of God is pure: He is a Shield unto them that put their trust in Him" (Proverbs 30:5).

Can you see them drawing near,
Who after mischief go?
Yes they come, but God is here
To conquer every foe.

Who can stand against my God,
Or nullify His Word?
That prospect is not merely odd,
It's patently absurd!

Every Word of God is pure
And He will be a Shield
To those who trust Him for their cure,
For by His stripes we're healed.

And so the nearness of the Lord
Will surely nullify
Every mischief that is stored,
Exposing every lie.
