His saving health is marvelous

Which Jesus has so clearly shown.

We are equipped to make the case

To prove that Christ our Savior lives

Who bore the cross to grant us grace.

By grace we’re saved and sanctified

Through Christ who gave Himself for us

When on the cross for us He died

And rose again victorious!

The time is short to hear His voice

And flee for refuge like a sparrow

While God Almighty gives the choice!

At God’s right hand for us above.

With Christ received, to die is gain,

So he who wins a soul is wise. 

 

Our Savior shelters us from harm;

He is our Refuge and our Tower. 

Our help is in His stretched-out arm;

Our hope is in His mighty power.

With reason and with confidence.

Though in these last days scorners mock,

The Lord Himself is our Defense.

To triumph where the LORD will lead.

And will not heed the charmer’s voice,

Is like the scorners who won’t hear

The Gospel they reject by choice. 

 

The Lord has sent us nonetheless

To sheep in danger, gone astray.

In spite of who will scorn or bless,

We speak while it is called today.

To rescue us; this was His mission.

So, I will hear and heed His voice.
