significant song for me
"Always" by Kristian Stanfill
My foes are many, they rise against me
But I will hold my ground
I will not fear the war, I will not fear the storm
My help is on the way, my help is on the way
Oh, my God, He will not delay
My refuge and strength always
I will not fear, His promise is true
My God will come through always, always
Troubles surround me, chaos abounding
My soul will rest in You
I will not fear the war, I will not fear the storm
My help is on the way, my help is on the way
Oh, my God, He will not delay
My refuge and strength always
I will not fear, His promise is true
My God will come through always, always
I lift my eyes up, my help comes from the Lord
I lift my eyes up, my help comes from the Lord
I lift my eyes up, my help comes from the Lord
I lift my eyes up, my help comes from the Lord
From You Lord, from You Lord
Oh, my God, He will not delay
My refuge and strength always
I will not fear, His promise is true
My God will come through always, always
Oh, my God, He will not delay
My refuge and strength always, always
(ps - just in case you were wondering the "foes, trouble, chaos, fear" really have nothing to do with any earthly thing - and certainly not any person or temporary situation.... the song is significant not because of what is "taken care of" - foes, trouble, chaos, fear - but because of the promises of God represented - He is right on time! He will not delay! He is my refuge and strength - ALWAYS! My God will come through - ALWAYS! )
