Confidence

Joel A. Erickson (2007) • English

Primary Scripture: Proverbs 3:26

Verse 1

We will not falter in the battle, For by the grace of God we’ll stand, And while we use our Captain’s armor, No one can pluck us from His hand; He is our confidence and courage, While we obey we’ll never fall; Let us be true, and fight in Jesus’ might, Follow our mighty Captain’s call.

Verse 2

Lord, I need grace to be Your soldier— Grace that will bear the battle’s din; Strengthen me at my post of duty, That I may conquer every sin; You are my confidence and courage, Not a defeat You’ve ever known; I will not quit nor yield, but trust Your shield, Strong in the strength You give Your own.

Verse 3

We will not fear the foe’s appearance, For we are led by Christ our King: He is the Captain of Salvation, And of His conquests we will sing; He is our confidence and courage, He is the One Who set us free; And with our hearts aglow we’ll rout the foe, For He has promised victory!
