Truth and Justice Shall Prevail

Truth and Justice Shall Prevail
Verse 1:
Flee, they cry, the night is falling,
Pointless now to take a stand.
Foundations gone, all is appalling,
Chaos sweeps across the land.
And yet my heart will not be shaken,
God is just, of this I’m sure;
Though the wicked rise and threaten,
Still His purpose will endure.
Chorus:
From His throne the Lord is reigning,
Watching both the strong and frail;
He is judge of all the nations,
Truth and justice shall prevail.
Verse 2:
Trials come to test and strengthen,
Faith’s refined like precious gold;
Though the winds of doubt assail us,
His promise and his truth will hold.
Blest the one whose heart is steadfast,
Bearing every storm they face;
Crowned with life when trials are ended,
Kept by God’s redeeming grace.
Chorus:
From His throne the Lord is reigning,
Watching both the strong and frail;
He is judge of all the nations,
Truth and justice shall prevail.
Verse 3:
Sin and death once held dominion,
But the cross has set us free;
Christ has triumphed! Hell is vanquished!
Now we stand in victory.
Hope compels us, love sustains us,
Faith will never turn aside;
The work of Jesus is completed,
And so we stand against the tide.
Chorus
From His throne the Lord is reigning,
Watching both the strong and frail;
He is judge of all the nations,
Truth and justice shall prevail.
Verse 4:
God will test, but not forsake us,
His fire refines, yet does not burn;
He plunges us into the struggle
Yet his triumph we discern.
Stand, my soul, though trials gather,
Wait upon His sure decree;
In His time the proud will perish,
And the righteous shall be free!
Chorus:
From His throne the Lord is reigning,
Watching both the strong and frail;
He is judge of all the nations,
Truth and justice shall prevail.
