Verse 1

If the Lord
Had not been on our side
If the Lord
Was silent when we cried
If He turned His face
We’d be swept away
But He will not forsake His own

He will keep us now
And for ev er more
For His steadfast love
Is for ev er sure
Even if hell may war
We will trust the Lord
He will keep us now
And for ev er more

Verse 2

Nothing but His blood and righteousness
Nothing else could be our confidence
Other hope may fade
Like a shadow change
But He will not forsake His own

Chorus

He will keep us now
And for ev er more
For His steadfast love
Is for ev er sure
Even if hell may war
We will trust the Lord
He will keep us now
And for ev er more

Bridge

The Lord is our Salvation
He is our victory
The Lord is our Salvation
Oh let His people sing

Refrain

He is our victory

Chorus

He will keep us now
And for ev er more
For His steadfast love
Is for ev er sure
Even if hell may war
We will trust the Lord
He will keep us now
And for ev er more

Verse 3

When we stand before the Throne of grace
Every tribe and tongue and every saint
What we knew by faith
We’ll for ever say
He did not forsake His own
