I WILL UPHOLD YOU

Israel had fallen to the Assyrians;

And Judah to the Babylonians.

Many were in deep despair;

Their captors did not care!

 

The LORD sent a great message;

His word brought fresh courage.

This was a word all needed to hear;

This brought much-needed cheer.

 

The LORD promised to be with Israel;

They would always remain His people.

He would be with them amidst danger;

He would not retain His holy anger.

 

“I will uphold you with my righteous right hand;”

These reflect the LORD’s deep and profound plan.

The LORD would give strength in our weakness;

He would uphold us in His great faithfulness.

 

Inspiration: Isaiah 41:10
