A reblog/revamp today based on Psalm 46. I previously published it in a slightly different form, on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks 2 years ago. We're using it in Belfast South Methodist this morning as part of worship.
God is
our strength and a safe place to hide,
In
time of trouble he’s always there to help.
So we
will not fear, even if the earth should shake
And
mountains be reduced to rubble,
though
the seas rage and roar
and
cities be swept away in the surge.
Pause
The River of Life
sustains the city of God ,
the
holy habitation of the Most High.
God is
within her walls, so she will stand;
God
will ride to her rescue with the rising sun.
Nations rant and rave, kings and kingdoms fall;
The Almighty
I AM speaks, and the whole earth dissolves .
The Almighty
I AM is always with us;
The
God of promise is our protector.
Pause
Come and see what the Almighty I AM can do,
Sweeping
away what we thought to be indestructible.
He will bring war to an end
From
one end of the world to another;
Putting weapons beyond use eternally
And
disarming hearts and minds.
Stop. Be
still. Know that the Almighty I AM is
God;
I
will be exalted among all nations,
I
will be exalted over all the earth.
The
Almighty I AM is always with us;
The
God of promise is our protector.
Psalms 46:1-11
Shalom
