confident that Judah and it's cities would crumble with fear
he invaded Judah and encamped against it fortified cities
a certain victory was what he thought and with some ease.
Hezekiah took note of Sennacherib's plan and decided to act
putting necessary plans in place that were done with much tact
redirecting the springs, building walls, making weapons and shield
encouraging the people that in time the power of God will be revealed.
Sennacherib fresh off besieging Lachish looked forward to his next conquest
he sent message to Jerusalem letting them know their resistance is no contest
the God whom they trust will like the other nations' gods be unable to save them
he wrote letters to cast contempt on the Lord, saying He can't stop the mayhem.
be certain that salvation will come, rest assured it won't be delayed
they think the vastness of their numbers guarantee they will invade
that they will rule over us but they don't know we've already prayed.
And prayed they did to the God their Lord who is like no other
he alone is the God supreme, sovereign, and has all the power
"Be still and know that I am God!" it's an offense to blaspheme his name
so He sent an angel to kill all the mighty men, to Sennacherib's shame.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble
no need to fear even if the earth and nations begin to crumble
God is our mighty fortress, he will be exalted over and above all
he promises to come to the aid of his people whenever they call.
2 Chronicles 32, and Psalm 46.
