At the end of Luke's gospel, chapter twenty and two
- At the end of Luke's gospel, chapter twenty and two,
The Lord says to Peter, "Satan wants to sift you,
But the Lord's interceding and His prayer is true,
Hallelujah! He's prayed for us, we'll never sift through! - Though there's all kinds of battles in our living each day,
And we always face trials, life is ordered that way,
Still, in all situations, as He intercedes,
He in all things supplies us and meets all of our needs.
- Just a Christian alone, however strong he may be
Cannot withstand the sifting of the Lord's enemy;
Though he might sift one only, yet he'll ne'er sift two,
Hallelujah! Together we're too big to sift through! - What a wonderful purpose God has purposed for us,
To be transformed and reigning with His Son, glorious;
So it just doesn't matter what the foe might do—
Hallelujah! The church is much too big to sift through!

Aug. 21, 2010Steve MillerDetroit, MI, United StatesAt our home meeting we were discussing the sifting in Luke 22. I said, There's a song in the supplemental part of our hymnal about that, but how could we find it. I said, Probably it is in the section on the church, so I opened my hymnal to go to that section, and I saw that I had opened right to this song, which is the one I was looking for. It is in the Spiritual Warfare section appropriately, not the church section. We sung the song, and I received timely encouragement by it.
The 1st verse and the chorus are very good.
Verses 2-3 are not according to the truth. Christians need companions, but just because you stick together with another Christian doesn't mean you won't get sifted out.
