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
