Resolute and Absolute


[for "Resolute Covenant"]

No doubt, no fear, no worry, no tear
His promises true and oaths sincere
From age to age, His Word is clear
His covenant -- absolute -- is here

One word won't miss the promised bliss
For He is true and so is this
The God of Jacob won't dismiss
A covenant -- resolute -- is His

The Holy God who condescended
Has spoken words of life and mended
All hurt and pain in you upended
His covenant -- absolute -- to you extended

You can rely until you die
Or 'til you see Him with you eye
He'll keep His word, He cannot lie
His covenant -- resolute -- alive

So rest your case, and set your face
To Savior who abounds in grace
And when life seems a bit misplaced
His covenant -- resolute -- embrace

Now one more thing: you are a king
Called out to war and sword to swing
In Him, sing out prophetic things
And covenants -- absolute -- He brings

You're resolute, in Him arise
Your armor, weapons are supplied
The strength you need is in His eyes
His covenant -- resolute -- abides
