Commanded Capability

"At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, and at the commandment of the LORD they journeyed" (Numbers 9:23).  "Thy God hath commanded thy strength… He that giveth strength and power unto His people" (Psalm 68:28,35).  "He is a Buckler to them that walk uprightly… that thou mayest walk in the way of good men" (Proverbs 2:7,20).  "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world" (1 John 4:4). 

Endurance through our journey's length

And rest in times of restoration

Shall come from God who gives us strength

Through every trial and temptation. 

Our God's command shall never fail

To give us strength to do His will. 

The gates of hell shall not prevail

Against the Lord's commandment still. 

The Lord is guarding all His own

Who walk according to His way. 

The strength that He commands is shown

To those who hear Him and obey. 

Lord, speak the word as our Creator;

Command our capability.

We'll overcome, for You are greater

Than our defeated enemy.
