Don't Be Shaken


Don't Be Shaken

By George Thurlow
 

Don't be shaken in mind, *
At these troubled times,
For all must come to past.
Though the earth may suddenly quaken,
Don't let your peace be taken.
God is in control.

Don't run in retreat,
And live in defeat
For you're on the winning side.
Have not the prophets spoken,
And Christ's Blood the evident token
Of the devil's demise? *

We're priviliged to see,
All the prophecies
Fulfilled before our eyes
Keep your hands to the plow.
Don't look back now.*
Christ is on the way.
