MY GOD FOR ME A COVENANT MADE

Don Fortner

(Tune: America The Beautiful #531 CMD)

In union with the Son of God

From condemnation free

The chosen from forever were

And shall forever be!

God’s sons we were by God’s decree

From old eternity.

With every blessing we were blessed

In Christ our Surety.

My God for me a cov’nant made

(Ordered in all things sure!)

With Jesus Christ, His Son, my Head.

His cov’nant shall endure.

Though every earthly bond must break,

Each joy to sorrow turn,

Our Savior shall each sorrow make

Eternal joy return!

When sorrows come, or storms arise,

When sins your heart assail,

With hope to heav’n lift up your eyes

To Christ within the vail.

Here let all weary pilgrims rest,

Who love the Savior’s name,

Though nothing in this world will last,

God’s cov’nant stands the same!
