If God Be For US!

Arrangement by Evangelist Barbara Ward Farmer

If God be for us, who can be against us?
If God be on our side, why should we fear?
When the enemy comes - like a thief in the night;
Nay, in all of these things ---
We can make it, in Jesus' name!

Since God is for us, why should we worry or doubt?
And since God is for us, He promised to bring us out.
When the enemy comes - like a thief in the night,
I'm not going to worry about it, for we can make it in Jesus's name.

[Repeat]

We can make it, in Jesus' name! (repeat)
(soloist ad-libs)

If God be for us, why should we fear?
If God be for us, He is near!

If God be for us, why should we doubt?
If God be for us; He'll bring you out!

If God be for us, demons have to flee;
If God be for us --- Vic-to-ry!!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! --- Vic-to-ry!!

Nay, in all of these things ---
We can make it, in Jesus' name! (2x)

All things work together for the good;
To them that love the Lord with all their hearts,
To them that love the Lord with all their hearts

Be not dismayed whate'er betide;
God will take care of you,
From the mountain top or in the valley low - there's a blessing to those that love the Lord with all their heart.
I know there's a blessing to those that love the Lord with all their heart.

To them that love the Lord with all their hearts.
