Set in Safety


"Now… saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.  The words of the LORD are pure words… Thou shalt preserve them from this generation forever" (Psalm 12:5-8).  "Safety is of the LORD" (Proverbs 21:31).  "The LORD said, My Spirit shall not always strive with man… But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD" (Genesis 6:3,8 ).  "Jesus answered… Let these go their way: that the saying might be fulfilled, which He spake, Of them which Thou gavest Me have I lost none" (John 18:9).   

There is a place of safety found
Amid the puffing mockery: 
The words of God (how sweet their sound!)
Give evidence with certainty! 

How dangerous are words unchecked
From mockers who will publish lies! 
How many lives have thus been wrecked
By fools professing to be wise!

Our safety now is from the Lord;
His Word is light where it is dark.
It carries warning and reward,
As Noah found, who built the ark.

O Lord, we know You'll not lose one
Of all who place their trust in You. 
We're set in safety! It is done,
For every word of God is true!
