    This one was a spontaneous inspiration. The phrase ‘facing the God I know’ hit me and I couldn’t shake it. So here is one of my newest ones. As usual, enjoy-share-and critique all you want!

     

    Facing (The God I Know)
    As the enemies encompass me with their spears
    As my eyes are filled by the pain’s bitter tears
    As the oceans seek to wash me to my grave
    I know there’s a God standing here, ready to save.

    Through the darkest of times and the fiercest of foes
    There’s a fortress stronger than forces or storms
    When the sorrows whelm me in depths full of woes
    I can face them all for He is the God I know

    The God I know gave all His love to redeem
    He made the moon and the sun’s golden gleam
    The God I know reached down to save this soul
    He restored each breech and made it whole
    I know the God I know can save me today

    There’s is strength found in a trust in His Word
    There’s a sharpness tempered in the blade of His sword
    When the giants mock at the child of the Lord
    Here’s where I stand, facing them for the God I know

    The God I know walked on the mighty deep
    Aroused the dead from an eternal sleep
    The God I know promised to safely keep
    His redeemed in time of urgent need
    I know the God I know can save me today

    In the battle, in storm, in the turmoil within
    Whether struggling, sorrowing or shadow
    In the ashes, in waves, in the pain within
    In the strength of the God I know I can stand (repeat)
