"Have I not commanded you? Be strong, vigorous,
and very courageous. Be not afraid, neither be dismayed,
for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
(Joshua 1:9)
The Prophetic Art of Constance Woods
Who is on the Lord's side?
Who will serve the King?
Who will be His helpers,
Other lives to bring?
Who will leave the world's side?
Who will face the foe?
Who is on the Lord's side?
Who for Him will go?
By Thy call of mercy,
By Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side-
Savior, we are Thine.
Not for weight of glory,
Not for crown or palm,
Enter we the army,
Raise the warrior psalm;
But for the love that claimeth
Lives for whom He died:
He whom Jesus nameth
Must be on His side.
By Thy love constraining
By Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side-
Savior we are Thine.
Jesus, Thou hast bought us,
Not with gold or gem,
But with Thine own life blood,
For Thy diadem;
With Thy blessing filling
Each who comes to Thee,
Thou hast made us willing,
Thou hast made us free.
By Thy grand redemption,
By Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side
Savior, we are Thine.
Fierce may be the conflict,
Strong may be the foe,
But the King's own army
None can overthrow.
'Round His standard ranging,
Victory is secure,
For His truth unchanging
Makes the triumph sure.
Joyfully enlisting,
By Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side-
Savior, we are Thine.
Chosen to be soldiers,
In an alien land,
Chosen, called, and faithful
For our Captain's band;
In the service royal,
Let us not grow cold;
Let us be right loyal, noble,
True and bold.
Master, Thou wilt keep us,
By Thy grace divine,
Always on the Lord's side-
Savior, always Thine.
