The Lord Is Near

The Lord is on our side; once again He’ll stem the tide.
Enemy onslaught will subside.  The Lord is on our side.

Our God is here; we’ll survive.  Are you swallowed up alive? 
Have you foes who stalk? connive?  Our God is here; we’ll survive. 

     God saved Noah on the ark. He  healed the Hebrews in the dark. 
     God led Jonah to the shore. He guided Peter to the door. 
     God kept Daniel in the den. He rescued Paul from angry men.
     God spared David in the fray. He  taught disciples how to pray.

At all God’s vict’ries, stand in awe;  on ev’ry front, our God, voila.
Watch Him thwart Satan’s coup d’etat, And praise Him, Jehovah Shammah.
