At the end of Luke’s gospel

chapter twenty and two

The Lord says to Peter

“Satan wants to sift you

But the Lord’s interceding and His prayer is true

Hallelujah! He’s prayed for us

we’ll never sift through!

Though there’s all kinds of battles in our living each day

And we always face trials

life is ordered that way

Still

in all situations

as He intercedes

He in all things supplies us and meets all of our needs.

Just a Christian alone

however strong he may be

Cannot withstand the sifting of the Lord’s enemy;

Though he might sift one only

yet he’ll ne’er sift two

Hallelujah! Together we’re too big to sift through!

What a wonderful purpose God has purposed for us

To be transformed and reigning with His Son

glorious;

So it just doesn’t matter what the foe might do—

Hallelujah! The church is much too big to sift through!
