Thanks to a little boy who always picked this song in grade school the words are etched in my mind,
but I sure didn't appreciate the depth of the writer's heart then as I do now!
Exodus 14:14
The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still."
The LORD your God, who goes before you,
will fight for you, just as you saw Him do for you in Egypt
Forging forward through unknown
Feeling for faith’s stepping stone
Thankful we are not alone
As we face each day
God is greater than man’s fears
Mediates and commandeers
Hoist Hope’s banner with three-cheers
Trust His Word and pray
Grace makes triumph possible
Spans a chasm filled with hell
Live each day and live it well
Though we suffer loss
Still with honest footsteps forge
Through the rock of Unknown’s gorge
Heart filled with hope’s sacred words
Eyes fixed on the cross
Some day in a better land
We will touch Love’s nail-scarred hand
Awed as we witness firsthand
The Author of True Light
Until then, forge through the hour
With the strength of higher pow’r
This the stem, but then the Flow’r
As faith turns to sight
