The Power of God

When Ab­ra­ham and Sa­rah

Had pro­mised them a son

They were sur­prised and knew not what to say;

But they knew what God had pro­mised

He was able to per­form:

And the pow­er of God is just the same to­day.

The pow’r of God is just the same to­day

It doesn’t mat­ter what the peo­ple say;

Whatever God has pro­mised

He’s able to per­form:

And the pow­er of God is just the same to­day.

When Mos­es want­ed wa­ter

To quench the peo­ple’s thirst

He knew that God would then pro­vide a way;

Although his rod was use­ful

He had the pow­er first:

And the pow­er of God is just the same to­day.

When Mo­ses made a ser­pent

And placed it on a pole

The bit­ten ones were told to look that way

And then while they were look­ing

Jehovah-ro­phi made them whole:

And the pow­er of God is just the same to­day.

When Jo­shua was com­mand­er

He spoke—the sun stood still

The moon its on­ward course was made to stay;

Thus he won a migh­ty bat­tle

For he did his Fa­ther’s will:

And the pow­er of God is just the same to­day.

When Na­aman

the le­per

Before Eli­sha stood

He thought he knew just what the seer would say

But he had to wash in Jor­dan

Though he thought it wasn’t good:

And the pow­er of God is just the same to­day.

When Da­vid met Go­li­ath

He meant to have a fight

The lead­ers put the bat­tle in ar­ray;

Of course he killed the gi­ant

For he was in the right:

And the pow­er of God is just the same to­day.

When Jo­nah went to Tar­shish

To flee away from God

A migh­ty fish was wait­ing for its prey;

It quick­ly swal­lowed Jo­nah

Then threw him on the sod:

And the pow­er of God is just the same to­day.

When Da­ni­el was in hon­or

Above the hon­ored men

The or­ders were that none to God should pray;

But he knew the God of pow­er

Was in the li­on’s den:

And the pow­er of God is just the same to-day.

When Ma­la­chi

the pro­phet

Was preach­ing all abroad

And cut­ting like the sic­kle and the scythe;

The peo­ple were ac­curs­èd

For they were rob­bing God

They failed to bring the of­fer­ing and the tithe.

Then came the bless­èd Sav­ior

With pow­er to cleanse and heal

To bear my sin and sick­ness all away;

My bur­dens

too

He car­ries

And doth my sor­rows feel:

And the pow­er of God is just the same to­day.

Through Paul and Si­las sing­ing

And pray­ing in the jail

For Paul and Si­las knew the way to pray;

The pri­son doors were op­ened

For locks could not avail

And the pow­er of God is just the same to­day.
