Awesome Assurance

“The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; He will not turn from it” (Psalm 132:11).  “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life” (John 5:24).

The Lord has sworn in truth to us,
And from His oath He will not turn. 
His promises are glorious,
Which only fools would choose to spurn!  

How awesome is our Lord’s assurance
In treasured words we hold today,
And endless is their long endurance
When earth and heaven pass away!

How sure is our security
Who put our trust in Christ our Savior:
For time and all eternity
He wraps us in His saving favor!

We’re “verily,” by Christ assured,
In times of peace and times of strife, 
That all who hear and trust His Word
Shall have His everlasting life!

In our eternity, so vast,
We’ll not come into condemnation;
From death to life we now are passed
Since we have entered Christ’s salvation!

We thank You, Lord, and stand in awe
As we consider what You did: 
You satisfied Your holy Law
For all who now in You are hid! 

O Lord, it’s hard to take it in,
That You were willing to go through
The pains of death to purge our sin,
And yet we are assured it’s true!

O Christ, we praise Your awesome name
Above all other names adored! 
This great assurance we proclaim
Is found in You alone, O Lord!
