"For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God FOR US" (Hebrews 9:2424For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: (Hebrews 9:24)).
"When I cry unto Thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for GOD IS FOR ME" (Psalm 56:99When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. (Psalm 56:9)).
God, who stretched forth the heavens,
Who the earth's foundation laid,
God is for us, for His people,
Should my heart then be afraid?
God is for us, who in mercy
Sent His well beloved Son,
To redeem our souls on Calv'ry,
And the work has all been done.
God is for us, O how wondrous!
He is for me, this I know:
He will take my hand and lead me
In the way that I should go.
And when Satan, the deceiver,
Seeks to tempt my rebel heart,
Christ is ready to deliver,
He is there, to take my part.
Christ has overcome the tempter,
He has vanquished every foe,
And on high He's interceding
For His own, He loveth so.
Christ is for us, He is touched with
Our infirmities and pain,
And our sufferings are measured
In the light of heaven's gain.
He assures, and reassures us,
He is for us, and He cares,
He desires our greatest blessing,
And our worship, and our prayers.
He is for us, He's redeemed us,
He is ever by our side,
He desires the sweet communion
Of His precious blood-bought bride.
O to trust Him then more fully!
In His loving heart to rest;
For the Lord who liveth for us,
Ever gives His own the best.
"Casting all your care upon Him; for it matters to Him about you" (1 Peter 5:77Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. (1 Peter 5:7) another translation).
