756. God has promised many things

Author: Martin E Leckebusch

God has promised many things:
treasures from a heavenly store;
now in Christ the echo sounds:
‘Yes’ to all he said before.
Think of how he gave his Son;
such a precious gift indeed!
How will he not also give
all that we could ever need?

2. Faith unlocks the power of God
in the face of doubt and fear.
Access to his throne is ours;
what can stop us drawing near?
God has pledged to hear our prayers
when we ask in Jesus’ name,
so we come with eager hearts
and his promise boldly claim.

3. Faith enjoys the peace of God:
freedom from anxiety!
What can earthly riches give?
Christ is our security!
Faith will therefore never cling
to the wealth we now possess,
but will find the better way:
giving freely, keeping less.

4. God has promised many things:
treasures from a heavenly store;
now in Christ the echo sounds:
‘Yes’ to all he said before.
So we raise a loud ‘Amen!’
as we make his word our own
and, with faith to guide our lives,
make his promised riches known.
