God so loved this whole world

We sang this Godfrey Birtill song at church this morning - I just love the words...

God so loved this whole world
That He gave his only Son
And if we will cleave to Him
We'll not perish
But we'll have eternal Life
And we'll never be condemned
For God’s promises are Yes and Amen!

Yeah yeah yeah!...Yeah yeah yeah!
Yeah yeah yeah!...Yeah yeah yeah!
Yeah yeah yeah!...Yeah yeah yeah!
and Amen!.

Though we walk through dark days
Where the earth and heavens shake
Through the valley of despair
He is with us
Never giving up on us
Faithful and forever friend
For God’s promises are Yes and Amen!

Through the cross we are saved
In the blood we put our faith
For there is no other way
In to heaven
Jesus conquered death and hell
Promised to return again
And God’s promises are Yes and Amen!

The words of verse 2 spoke particularly powerfully to me again this morning - no matter what we're going through, no matter how far from God we feel - he never gives up on us... For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does (Psalm 33v4)
