He Maintains

Tragedies, traumas, trials, and travail
There's no way to avoid them along life's trail
But you can find help along the way
If you listen to what God has to say

"The Lord is my light and my salvation.
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life. Of
whom shall I be afraid?"   (Psalm 27:1)

Heartaches, hostilities, horrible happenings
How can we expect to survive
There is only one plan of maintaining
It is God who keeps man alive

"O Lord, You have brought my soul up
from the grave.
You have kept me alive, that I should not
go down into the pit."   (Psalm 30:3)

It's time to give glory, honor, and praise
To the God of all Creation
Let's make sure our hands are raised
Towards the God of our salvation

"Praise God in His sanctuary
Praise Him in His mighty firmament
Praise Him for His mighty acts
Praise Him according to His excellent greatness
Let everything that has breath, praise the Lord!"
(Psalm 150:1,2,6)
