God Who made heaven, earth and sea,
What can He not do for thee?
When He speaks, the work is done,
Trust Him then, beloved one.
God will answer though the sea
Roars and rages, making thee
Only see the billow’s height;
God will speak His word of might.
God will answer when to thee,
Not a possibility
Of deliverance seems near;
It is then, He will appear.
God will answer when you pray;
Yea, though mountains block thy way,
At His word, a way will be
E’en through mountains, made for thee.
God Who still divides the sea,
Willingly will work for thee;
God, before whom mountains fall,
Promises to hear thy call.
(Jeremiah 33:2-3)
