Is God For Me?

Is God For Me?

With God for me, I fear not, Though all against me rise; When I call on Christ my Savior, The host of evil flies. My Friend, the Lord Almighty, And He who loves me, God; What enemy can harm me, Though coming like a flood?
The world may pass and perish, Thou, God, will not remove; No hatred of all devils Can part me from Thy love; No hungering nor thirsting, No poverty nor care, No wrath of mighty princes Can reach my shelter there.
My heart with joy upleapeth, Grief cannot linger there; It singeth high in glory, Amidst the sunshine fair. The sun that shines upon me Is Jesus and His love, The fountain of my singing Is deep in heaven above.By Paul Gerhardt
