Lyrics
What a solid foundation, O children of God
Is laid for your faith in God’s life-giving Word
What more could be written? What more could be seen?
Oh come and find refuge at our Saviour’s feet
“Fear not, I am with you, O don’t be dismayed
For I am your God, and this promise I’ve made:
I’ll strengthen you, help you, and cause you to stand
Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand
When through the deep waters, I call you to go
Those rivers shall not overwhelm you with woe
For I will be with you, your troubles to bless.
My redemption will speak to your deepest distress
When through fiery trials your pathway may lie,
My grace, all-sufficient, shall be your supply
The flame cannot hurt you: my only design
Is to burn away dross so that gold is refined.”
My God, you have called me, according to your Word
To trust that you’ll carry me through all this world
Our lives will all hold both joys and griefs,
Still your presence is bringing your promised peace
Your promised peace
