Failing Foes

“The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1).  “What shall we then say to these things?  If God be for us, who can be against us?... Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?... Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us” (Romans 8:32-37).

The Lord is our Light and the Strength of our life;
He promised to always be near.
The Lord gives His peace in the midst of our strife,
Removing our reason to fear.

In light of these things, brethren, what shall we say,
Since God is our great Confidence?
Now who is the foe that would thrust us away
From Christ, who is now our Defense?

The Lord Jesus Christ has become our Salvation;
There shouldn’t be any more doubt:
Our foes have no power to cause separation
From Christ, who will not cast us out.

O Lord, we rejoice that You’re reigning supreme,
Ensuring from Your throne above
That no foe can conquer the souls You redeem
Or sever them from Your great love!
