The Great Victory

A poem based on John 16:33
... "but be brave! I have defeated the world!"

God has defeated the world
All the battles we fight, He's won!
Although our fears and concerns unfurled;
even while we're in the midst, He's already done!

He beat our insecurity,
He destroyed hate and war and crime,
He has purified the filthiest impurity,
He has conquered the limits of death and time.

What we do not understand, He already knows,
What we cannot provide, He has never-ending,
Where we cannot bear to be, He goes,
Fearless savior, strong and defending.

Knowing this, God, why is it so hard to trust?
Shouldn't I be bursting with courage so bold?
Why does fear and pain still hold my lust?
Why should my soul remain so cold?



Happy Sunday! Rejoice, for He saves us every day!
