Unfailing

Across the sea
A raging storm
Tosses a ship about.
But there is an anchor
Cast deep and true
And it will not fail to hold.
It will keep the ship secure.

Massive legions
Of fearsome hordes
Lay siege to the castle keep.
But there is a bar
Against the gate
And it will not fail to hold.
It will keep the castle secure.

A gust of wind
On a mountainside
Plummets the climber down.
But there is a rope
Tied strong and taut
And it will not fail to hold.
It will keep the climber secure.

Raging river
Flooding its banks
Sweeping a child away.
But there is a Father
Reaching his arms
And he will not fail to hold.
He will keep his child secure.

Faithful servant
Confused and torn
Commits a careless sin.
But there is a Son
Who shed His blood
Whose love will not fail to hold.
He will keep his beloved secure.
