The Day of Deliverance - Jeremiah 39: 17-18
A promise is a precious thing
something worth holding on to
it brings peace to a wounded soul
lifting away any type of blue
This promise has divine overtones
for it comes from God the Lord
as the king of heaven has declared
I will deliver by word or sword
Such a promise assures one's heart
that the Lord will truly act
for what He says shall do
making God's word a true fact
There is no need being anxious
for surely not to shed a tear
as God the Lord is the master
from all that make you fear
The hands of men are powerless
before God's majestic holy hand
believe truly on His promise
for only it will ever stand
('But I will deliver you on that day, declares the Lord, and you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid. 18 For I will surely save you, and you shall not fall by the sword, but you shall have your life as a prize of war, because you have put your trust in me, declares the Lord.)
Jeremiah ch. 39 vs. 17-18 (ESV)
