Is anything impregnable? Can nobody get through?
Has anybody built a place that others can’t get to?
There’s been a lot of strongholds that look as though they’re strong.
But finally they’ve fallen; when problems came along.
Babylon and Nineveh thought they would never fall;
But they were both invaded and were captured after all.
These cities were erected by ordinary men.
Who thought they had it worked out to the last stroke of a pen.
But they were disappointed. No power can resist
The power of the Most High God, if He should “clench His Fist”!
Masada was another and so was Mediggo.
They had to both be captured; the Lord God told them so.
So many other places that have been built by man,
Have crumbled into ruin the way that cities can.
The problem with man‘s efforts are; God has been left out.
They think fortifications are what it’s all about.
But God has told them otherwise, so everything they’ve done,
Has finally been broken and the city overrun.
There isn’t a solution. Not in man’s puny might.
We haven’t got the wherewithal to beat Him in a fight.
Even mighty Tyre was finally brought down;
The Lord said it would happen; He said all of the town
Would be scraped together, and cast into the sea.
And fishermen would dry their nets where Tyre used to be.
And that’s what really happened; Alexander the Great,

Totally destroyed it and brought about its fate.
What do these stories tell you? One thing that we must know,
Is when the Lord says something, it will occur just so.
There’s only just one method to prevent God’s Holy wrath.
It’s giving your obedience and plighting Him your troth.
No man can ever give you complete security.
You have to put your trust in God’s great Divinity.
Treat Him as a Husband Who wants to care for you.
Know that He will do it. His love is always true.
Turn away from evil and do what He has said;
Then He will protect you, the Living and the dead.
You may have to suffer until the time is right;
But this one thin is certain; He’ll protect you with His might.
Even when you’re fearful; that’s the time to be,
Absolutely confident, then you will surely see;
What the Lord Almighty will do for all the folk
Who willingly obey Him and wear the Saviour’s yoke.
