Lord, Your Truth Abides

Lord, Your truth abides, enduring for all days;
Your words are sure:
      both promises that cheer
      and threatenings that will blaze!

You wrap Yourself in majesty, power clothed in faithfulness;
We are fickle, vacillating here and there:
      yet You remain true,
      You alone are goodness—

You cannot deny Yourself nor break Your spoken Word.
If we remain faithful to the calling and Your truth
      You will raise us to reign with You;
      Else we shall be spurned

And cast away, for Your threats are true.
Help us, O Mighty Lord of hearts,
      for we are weak and fickle;
      may we ever live for You.

- D. Benning

If we have died with him, we will also live with him;
if we endure, we will also reign with him;
if we deny him, he also will deny us;
if we are faithless, he remains faithful—
   for he cannot deny himself.

2 Timothy 2:11 - 13
