As we go through Revelation we see that the Satanic powers are always waging war against the church. This leads to persecution, death, and chaos this side of Christ’s return. However we are also constantly reminded of the present and future hope we have. God will ultimately win, and presently he is still sovereign over all things. Even when we suffer, there is the big picture of a sustaining and loving God who will provide for his people and vindicate them in the end. The song “God Is For Us” is based off of Romans 8, but the themes carry over to the concepts and application we are learning in Revelation. Here’s the full lyrics…
We won’t fear the battle, we won’t fear the night
We will walk the valley with You by our side
You will go before us, You will lead the way
We have found a refuge, only You can save
Sing with joy now, our God is for us
The Father’s love is a strong and mighty fortress
Raise your voice now, no love is greater
Who can stand against us if our God is for us
Even when I stumble, even when I fall
Even when I turn back, still Your love is sure
You will not abandon, You will not forsake
You will cheer me onward with never-ending grace
Sing with joy now, our God is for us
The Father’s love is a strong and mighty fortress
Raise your voice now, no love is greater
Who can stand against us if our God is for us
Neither height nor depth can separate us
Hell and death will not defeat us
He who gave His son to free us
Holds me in His love
Neither height nor depth can separate us
Hell and death will not defeat us
He who gave His son to free us
Holds me in His love
Sing with joy now, our God is for us
The Father’s love is a strong and mighty fortress
Raise your voice now, no love is greater
Who can stand against us if our God is for us
