"Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? The goodness of God endureth continually" (Psalm 52:1). "Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then He arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of Man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him!" (Matthew 8:26,27).
Why are you boasting, O mischievous man,
As if over God you'll prevail?
Your arrogant words and your misguided plan
Shall soon be defeated and fail.
You may convince others, O mischievous man,
That evil shall reign as the norm.
But God shall arise, and by His command,
Shall calm all the boast of your storm.
You may have forgotten what manner of Man
Rebuked both the wind and the sea.
He measures the heavens as merely a span;
He spoke, and it all came to be.
Why are you fearful, O child of God?
The mischievous man cannot win!
Don't let his mischief your own faith defraud;
Believe Him who saved you from sin!
