Psalm 46--God Will Protect His Own

God is our refuge and our strength.
We're safe in His mighty hands.
The safest place in all the world
Is the center of His best plan.

Earthquakes may shake and mountains fall;
Sea waves may roil with foam,
But God will hear our every call
And take us safely home.

God is a river of peace, my friends.
He will keep His city secure.
Though armies surround it at the end,
Their hour of destruction is near.

The nations are in disarray;
The Son of God is descending.
The evil armies He will slay,
For the reign of evil is ending.

Jesus comes in glory and splendor
Followed by the redeemed.
He comes as Israel's strong defender,
The Messiah of their dreams.

He will make wars to cease that day
And reign for a thousand years.
Peace and justice will come to stay
No need for swords and spears.

Be still, you saints. Your God is here.
Exalt Him and give Him praise.
Now is the time for all to draw near,
To serve Him all of your days.

Our Lord Jesus is coming soon.
Receive Him before it's too late.
Confess to Him your vain soul's ruin;
Accept His redemption so great.
