Victorious Voice


"The floods have lifted up their voice… The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters... Thy testimonies are very sure" (Psalm 93:3-5).  "Have not I written to thee excellent things… that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth?" (Proverbs 22:20,21).  "His voice was like a noise of many waters… speaking unto me" (Ezekiel 43:2,6).   "I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins" (Revelation 18:4).    

The floods lift up their voice again:
In proud rebellion, they rejoice. 
It is noise of mortal men,
But we have heard our Savior's voice. 

Above the noise of restless waves, 
There is a voice of certainty:   
It is the voice of Christ who saves;
His truth alone has made us free.   

His voice like many waters speaks,
As every other voice is drowned. 
Yet to the one who humbly seeks,
He promises He will be found. 

O Lord, Your voice victorious
Has called Your people to come out. 
The joyful sound is glorious
That leads with Your triumphant shout!
