Steadfast and True

But he was pierced for our transgressions, 

he was crushed for our iniquities; 

the punishment that brought us peace was on him, 

and by his wounds we are healed.

Isa.53:5 

No matter what we think or feel

Or dare to say or do

The everlasting Word of God

Abides, steadfast and true

No matter what circumstance grants

Be it joy or dismay

The Word of God is not by chance

But is man’s hope and stay

The Word of God withstands Time’s test

Through ever-pressing tides

No matter what may come to pass

The Word of God abides

...then when we turn each sacred page

And look on He who died

Faith rests assured in spite of age

And hope is satisfied 

The Word of God is like a spring

Of Living Water poured

And as the thirsty come to drink

Their courage is restored 

Then sing; let earth ring with the joy

That God alone can give

Nothing and no one can destroy

His Words whereby we live

Isaiah 51:6
"Lift up your eyes to the sky,
Then look to the earth beneath;
For the sky will vanish like smoke,
And the earth will wear out like a garment
And its inhabitants will die in like manner;
But My salvation will be forever,
And My righteousness will not wane.

 Heaven and earth will pass away,
but my words will never pass away.

Matt.24:25
