1 When Israel came out of Egypt —

the house of Jacob from a people

who spoke a foreign language —

2 Judah became his sanctuary,

Israel, his dominion.

3 The sea looked and fled;

the Jordan turned back.

4 The mountains skipped like rams,

the hills, like lambs.

5 Why was it, sea, that you fled?

Jordan, that you turned back?

6 Mountains, that you skipped like rams?

Hills, like lambs?

7 Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord,

at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8 who turned the rock into a pool,

the flint into a spring.

-- Psalms 114:1-8 (CSB)

God is Faithful (Ps 114) by Bob Kauflin and Lacy Hudson

God brought out His people

With a strong and mighty hand

Took them out of slavery to behold the Promised Land

Mountains fled before them

And the seas turned back and ran

And they saw that He was good

He is with us He is with us

God is faithful God is faithful to His own

Tasting of His kindness we cannot go back again

Leads us through the desert

To the rivers of His grace

Working all things for our good

And Your love as in the past

If days be few or many You will guide us to the last

You have said it we believe it

Every promise holding fast

For we know that You are good

He is with us He is with us

God is faithful God is faithful to His own

You are faithful to Your promise

You are with us You are with us

You are faithful You are faithful to Your own

Lord, how easily I get shaken. Criticism, a sense of failure, changes and losses—all these things rattle me. Help me to live in the “kingdom that cannot be shaken” (Hebrews 12:28). Teach me how to build my life every day on your Word and your love, which will endure when all other things pass away. Amen.

-Tim Keller
