E B
Though troubles assail and dangers affright,
G#m A2
Though friends should all fail and foes all unite;
E B
Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide,
G#m A2
The scripture assures us, the Lord will provide.
B A
The birds without barn or storehouse are fed,
B F#m
From them let us learn to trust for our bread:
E B
His saints, what is fitting, shall ne’er be denied,
G#m A2
So long as it’s written, the Lord will provide.
E B
We may, like the ships, by tempest be tossed
G#m A2
On perilous deeps, but cannot be lost.
E B
Though Satan enrages the wind and the tide,
G#m A2
The promise engages, the Lord will provide.
B A
His call we obey like Abram of old,
B F#m
Not knowing our way, but faith makes us bold;
E B
For though we are strangers we have a good Guide,
G#m A2
And trust in all dangers, the Lord will provide.
E B
When Satan appears to stop up our path,
G#m A2
And fill us with fears, we triumph by faith;
E B
He cannot take from us, though oft he has tried,
G#m A2
This heart–cheering promise, the Lord will provide.
B A
He tells us we’re weak, our hope is in vain,
B F#m
The good that we seek we ne’er shall obtain,
E B
But when such suggestions our spirits have plied,
G#m A2
This answers all questions, the Lord will provide.
E B
No strength of our own, or goodness we claim,
G#m A2
Yet since we have known the Savior’s great name;
E B
In this our strong tower for safety we hide,
G#m A2
The Lord is our power, the Lord will provide.
B A
When life sinks apace and death is in view,
B F#m
This word of his grace shall comfort us through:
E B
No fearing or doubting with Christ on our side,
G#m A2
We hope to die shouting, the Lord will provide
