Delivered from Danger


“The LORD therefore be judge… and deliver me out of thine hand” (1 Samuel 24:15).  “The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: He shall preserve thy soul” (Psalm 121:7).  “Whoso hearkeneth unto Me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil” (Proverbs 1:33).  “We are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world” (1 Corinthians 11:32). 

The Lord is watching all His own,
To guide their steps and hear their prayers.
He draws us daily to His throne
That we may cast on Him our cares. 

The Lord delivers us from danger;
He pleads our cause and intercedes.  
Though in this earth we are a stranger,
He cares for us and meets our needs. 

The Lord preserves us everyday
From dangers that we cannot see. 
He leads us safely in His way
And guards our souls eternally. 

Sometimes the danger lurks within
As we have hearts so prone to wander,
And thus He chastens us for sin 
To turn from danger that we ponder. 

O Lord, there’s danger drawing near,
But You are near forevermore. 
You have delivered us from fear:
You fought our fight and won the war! 

In view, O Lord, of what You did
To rescue us from condemnation
So that we are from danger hid,
We thank You for so great salvation!
