Combating Christ

"O GOD the Lord, the Strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of battle" (Psalm 140:7).  "The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe" (Proverbs 29:25).  "Thus saith the LORD of hosts… he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of His eye… Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for He is raised up out of His holy habitation" (Zechariah 2:8,13).  "The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit Thou on My right hand, till I make Thine enemies Thy footstool" (Luke 20:42,43). 

Our Savior has covered our head

And given us strength in salvation. 

He suffered and died in our stead

To purchase our justification. 

There's no reason now to fear man,

Who stands against God to defy

God's people with his battle plan

To touch, as it were, our Lord's eye.

Let all of the earth stand in awe,

For Christ is raised up for His own! 

The triumph that prophets foresaw

In our risen Savior is shown.

O Christ, how deceived is the fool

Who yet is combating You now! 

Your foes shall be made as a stool

Where all of Your enemies bow.
