Not reluctant to jump in (God)
I couldn’t leave you stranded
I couldn’t close my ears
When you were down there praying
With supplicating tears
I promised yes to raise you
I saw the Saviour’s blood
The time had come to change you
My love just like a flood.
And I have grasped the whole scene
Not hard for me, you know
As Satan tries to cut you
And shake your footings so.
Oh child of mine triumphant
Now speaking through the din
The facts are changing RIGHT NOW
As I am moving in.
