I’m sure you can tell me, Who preserved humanity,
By rescuing via an ark, Noah and his family.
And surely you know also, Who spared and rescued Lot,
From Sodom’s wicked city, struck by sulfur burning hot.

I’m sure you can tell me, Who spared Moses from a Pharaoh,
Safe in a little basket, midst the Nile’s ebb and flow.
And surely you know also, Who parted the broad Red sea,
So that His wayward people, from their enemy could flee.

I’m sure you can tell me, Who a river also parted,
Letting Joshua go through, as the priests, the Ark carted.
And surely you know also, Who Jericho’s walls destroyed,
With trumpet blasts and shouting, He creatively employed.

I’m sure you can tell me, Who helped David slay a giant,
A huge and evil Philistine, who with God’s way wasn’t compliant.
And surely you know also, Who via birds, Elijah fed,
And fed Elijah again, by a widow, the Spirit led.

I’m sure you can tell me, Who saved Jonah via a whale,
Despite the fact that Jonah, from this One had just set sail.
And surely you know also, Who three Hebrews rescued too,
From Babylon’s fiery furnace, where fueled flames much higher grew.

I’m sure you can tell me, Who the lions’ mouths shut tight,
When Daniel in the lions’ den, sought His help amidst his plight.
Yes, I’m sure you can tell me, Who spared from a death decree,
Queen Esther and her people, plotted against, treacherously.

If you can, you’ve clearly read, the greatest Book of all,
That tells of help and rescue, that’s occurred since Adam’s fall.
But the greatest help and rescue, at Calvary, took place,
As there, our dear Saviour, provided all with saving grace.
