STAND STILL
By George Thurlow

Victory’s in sight I know
For its darkest before the dawn.
The direst the circumstance
The nearer the battle won.
God’s timing is intentional,
Designed to strengthen faith.
Good things will surely happen
If on God we’ll only wait.
Deceiving are appearances
Viewed with human eyes;
They make a false impression
On which one should not rely.
When the war intensifies
And the victory looks bleak,
We are at advantage
Though seemingly so weak.
God steps into the battle
With His strength and might,
Then comes the blessed triumph
Received without a fight.

Exodus 14:13
And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
2 Chronicles 20: 15-18
“…Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not your's, but God's…
…Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.”
