By John Piper

(Sung to the Tune of Jesus, Priceless Treasure )

When the staff is broken,

And in judgment spoken

Righteousness is heard,

Think not God is silent,

Though the famine violent,
This is but His word.
He stands not to give account.

It is we who must before Him.

Come, let us adore Him!

When the flood is breaking

And your fear is waking,

Comfort not your soul,

Thinking the Almighty

Yielded up the right He

Once had to control.

Every river and the seas

Do His sovereign bidding purely.

This is comfort surely.

When your fortunes fail you,
