Answer as an Arrow

"But God shall shoot at them with an arrow" (Psalm 64:7). "My son, be wise, and make My heart glad, that I may answer Him that reproacheth Me" (Proverbs 27:11). "A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another" (John 13:34,35).

God will answer all His foes
Who plot deception in the dark,
As an expert Archer knows
The way to surely hit His mark.

God will choose the time and place
To answer with an arrow sure.
He would use us by His grace
In every a trial we endure.

God has called us to be wise,
And thereby fill His heart with joy.
Thus He answers Satan's lies
And thwarts his purpose to destroy.

God has given His command
To love each other as He did.
Like an arrow from His hand,
His grace displayed shall not be hid.

As Your arrow in the strife,
Lord, may we thus be sharp and true,
Testifying by our life
Of all the grace we find in You!
