Behold, This Is Our God
Desolation and destruction were all that could be seen,
In the city, in the countryside, everywhere was ruin.
Despair had begun to threaten to settle in the heart,
Joy and delight had gone; darkness refuses to depart.
Woe after woe was felt, and songs of joy seems to mock,
Could the heart sing again? Is there yet hope from God?
The soul seems robbed of all things that truly matter,
Even a simple prayer to God seems so difficult to utter.
But faith enables the spirit to see the work of God,
The sad things of life were also allowed by the Lord.
The heart affirms that the Lord is indeed our God,
We need not give in to fear for He is our great Rock.
We may boldly proclaim, “This is our God!”
Our faith in Him is not in vain, He is the LORD!
He will yet bring a song of joy to our sad heart,
He will always be beside us; He will never depart.
