Is Thy God Able? – Margaret E. Barber

Thou servant of the living God, 
Whilst lions round thee roar, 
Look up and trust and praise His name, 
And all His ways adore; 
For even now, in peril dire, 
He works to set thee free, 
And in a way known but to Him, 
Shall thy deliverance be.

Dost wait while lions round thee stand, 
Dost wait in gloom, alone? 
And looking up above thy head 
See but a sealed stone? 
Praise in the dark! Yea, praise His Name, 
Who trusted thee to see 
His mighty power displayed again 
For thee, His saint, for thee. 

Thou servant of the living God,
Thine but to wait and praise;
The living God, Himself will work,
To Him thine anthem raise.
Though undelivered, thou dost wait,
The God Who works for thee,
When His hour strikes, will with a word,
Set thee for ever free.

~ Margaret E. Barber

“And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?”
‭‭Daniel‬ ‭6:20‬ ‭

“Strengthen yourself in the Omnipotence of God. Do not say, “Is God able?” Say, rather, “God is able.” ~ Andrew Murray
