HELP

“Oh, Blessed Be GOD!
He Didn’t Go Off & Leave Us”

If GOD hadn’t been for us

—all together now, Israel, sing out!—

If GOD hadn’t been for us

when everyone went against us,

We would have been swallowed alive

by their violent anger,

Swept away by the flood of rage,

drowned in the torrent;

We would have lost our lives

in the wild, raging water.

Oh, blessed be GOD!

He didn’t go off and leave us.

He didn’t abandon us defenseless,

helpless as a rabbit in a pack of snarling dogs.

We’ve flown free from their fangs,

free of their traps, free as a bird.

Their grip is broken;

we’re free as a bird in flight.

GOD’s strong name is our help,

the same GOD who made heaven and earth.

PSALM 124

God is almost intolerably careless about crosses and swords, arenas and scaffolds, about all the “evils” and all the “plagues.” His caring doesn’t mean that he goes in for upholstering!
