Godless Waves vs. God's Word


“The LORD your God is He that hath fought for you… Cleave unto the LORD your God… Love the LORD your God” (Joshua 23:3-11).  “The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.  The LORD on high is mightier… than the mighty waves of the sea” (Psalm 93:3,4).  “The Word of God increased… Then there arose certain of the synagogue… disputing with Stephen.  And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake” (Acts 6:7-10). 

We hear the great farewell address
When Joshua was full of years
Confirming that the Lord will bless
Each one who diligently hears. 

The Lord your God for you has fought,
So “cleave unto the Lord” who saves,
And “love the Lord” now as you ought,
Whose Word yet stills the mighty waves. 

When Christ ascended up on high
He sent the Holy Spirit then
With power that would testify
Against the godless waves of men.

And so the Word of God increased
Exactly as the Lord intended.
When Stephen spoke, the godless ceased:
His case for Christ was well defended. 

We hear the godless yet disputing
The basic truth that God exists! 
Such lies we ought to be refuting
To show the evidence dismissed!

We need to speak the truth in love,
And yet with reasons we defend. 
The Holy Spirit from above
Persuades humble in the end. 

We thank You, Lord, for saving grace
Extended to humanity
And for the truth that makes Your case
Against such blind insanity! 

The floods have lifted up, O Lord,
Their godless waves which raise their voice. 
Your Word thus willfully ignored
Is our defense, and we rejoice!
