Protective Trust
The offer of protection that is found within God's Word
Is more than having danger and the loss of life deterred
It's more than just avoiding pain and all that we go through
While living in this sinful world amidst the things they do
Who are not God's true followers but Satan's kin instead
Who though they may be walking of a truth their really dead
Within their souls where Jesus once had led them in the Way
But no longer is welcome by the things they do and say
For while we're here still living on the devil's battle ground
Though by God's grace His comfort and protection can be found
From earthly things that hurt us and may cut our living short
The life of all true Christians has been sealed in heaven's court
Where life that has a future and eternity with God
Becomes the final focus as we walk upon this sod
Full knowing until Jesus comes this earthly life we live
At some point as we travel will be all we have to give
But only for a moment as at last we'll realize
Our glorious Redeemer when we open up our eyes
To see Him Whom we've waited for Who promised He would come
To take us back to heaven to the place He's coming from
Where we'll not need protection as no dangers will appear
No dangers we have battled in the time we're waiting here
For there will be no Satan and no demons from our past
As in God's time all evil will be sure to die at last
In fire He's prepared for them who turned away from Love
Who fiercely fought against the thoughts God offered from above
To humbly bow before Him and receive Him as their King
Who by His all eternal grace provides us everything
We need to live in oneness where His Son will ever shine
For all that He provided to make heaven yours and mine
Adopting our humanity to die our death for us
When we embrace divinity by faith through daily trust
That welcomes His protection from delusions of today
That reads and closely listens as we take that time to pray
With Holy Scriptures open in our hands upon our knee
Absorbed in all the wonder that by grace our eyes can see
Ephesians 2:1-10; Hebrews 11:1-3; Proverbs 23:26
