The 107th
Up against it, are we?
And don’t know where to turn.
The wanderings, the hungerings
The dire straits that burn.
The crops have failed.
The guiltless jailed.
The wicked in control.
And seas will churn
Tornados turn
We find no place of peace.
Is there no haven restful?
No judge’s fair release?
And where is God in all of this?
We trusted, gave our Oath.
We wait and whine
Through these hard times
Faith’s children, gave our troth.
Still there were days
When rescue came.
Deliverance from on high.
His Goodness is available
Still comes, in His Great Name.
So let all men and children sweet
Delight, and praise His fame.
Psalm 107*
