A Praise of Victory. A Meditation of Gary in Times of Trouble.
Who turns the tide of war?
The battle belongs to the LORD.
He gives His people victory,
And raises His standard high.
Victory is not to the proud,
Nor spoils to the swift.
But we overcome our war,
By regarding His love.
When I was a child,
I trusted in my strength.
But as I gained understanding,
God clothed me with armor.
There is a time for war,
And a time to lie down in safety,
Though man is born for trouble,
As the sparks fly upward,
The LORD is our redeemer.
In peace, we will rest again,
For in Your honor, we delight.
Though Egypt tempts us in the night,
You are our sole deliverer.
