Unshaken

Inspired by Isaiah 54:10

Though the mountains be moved into the sea, 

And earth beneath us tremble violently, 

Though waters roar and foam with rising tide, 

Still in Your refuge, Lord, we safely hide.

The peaks may fall, the valleys split in two, 

The skies may darken, stars forsake their hue, 

Yet in the chaos, one truth holds me fast— 

Your love, unshaken, anchors through the blast.

The stars may fall, the sky may lose its hue, 

The winds may howl and tear the world in two, 

But in the storm, Your whisper calms my soul: 

“My covenant of peace will make you whole.”

Not shaken by the fury of the land, 

Not broken by what I can't understand, 

Your mercy stands when all else fades away— 

A lighthouse through the night, a dawn of day.

So let the world unravel at its seams, 

Let silence steal the echo of my dreams— 

Still You will hold me, faithful as the tide, 

With love that will not fail, and peace that will abide.

So let the hills crumble, let oceans arise, 

Let fire kiss forests and ash paint the skies— 

The Lord of Hosts dwells in the midst of our cry, 

And we shall not fear, though the earth splits and sighs.
