Then I Remember Who God IS...

 

When fear would rival to endear its coldness in my breast

Then I remember who God IS; He lays my fears to rest

  

For He who holds earth’s elements and unfolds heaven’s scrim

Can never be usurped; demons flee at the thought of Him

Oh God, our God, who clothes the heath; beneath Thy tender care

Though armies of rebellion seethe, yet we will not despair

You shake the lake with thunder and strake galaxies with stars

You wake a holy hunger as we wonder Who You are

Who tends un-uttered groaning; lavishes this blue-dot globe

And bends from darkness morning light with fragments of Your robe

Oh God, our God, You walk upon a scaffolding of air

Above, beneath, without, within, Your Presence, God, is there

Then, should fear rival to endear its nearness in my thought

What peace to know that You are here to intercede, oh God

You are clothed with honor and majesty,
