Flight To Sabbath

Sodom burned but Lot went free The angel of death came only for the Egyptians' sons Chariots still lie at the bottom of the Red Sea But Abraham's descendants crossed in safety Jericho's mighty walls fell So did the sons of Anak, the biggest giants But the sons of Israel stood Joshua made the sun stand still His men vanquished the enemy that day Hezekiah's army never went out to fight But 185,000 Assyrians lay dead There is One who will go before us In cloud by day, blazing afire at night Manna in the morning, fresh water from the rock Safety, provision, victory The righteous will be watched over So believe the good report Giants and city walls can fall What are they before the breath of the Almighty? Here is the way, he beckons, walk ye in it Why should we linger? All has been promised to us A sure word is our title and deed The price has been paid He owns all and shares it with us A generous Father His children extravagantly provisioned Reach out, take and eat the fruit Lay hold of abundance Receive what you are promised You have been delivered Covered in flight, strengthened in battle Now to be lavished in rest Stephen Pursell, 9/04
