Look around: so many places
Look around: so many places,
ravaged, ruined or destroyed.
Ruthless people leaving carnage
by the methods they deployed.
In destruction prophets picture
God in judgment showing strength.
These are signs to bring the people
to the Godhead's side at length.
This same God had held the nations,
been a refuge for the poor,
stilling those who ushered suff'ring
in at every open door.
Verses 4-5 follow
Tune: CROSS OF JESUS (Stainer)
