Cantique : Who is on the Lord’s side

Who is on the Lord’s side?
  Who will serve the King?
Who will be His helpers,
  Other lives to bring?
Who will leave the world’s side?
  Who will face the foe?
Who is on the Lord’s side?
  Who for Him will go?

By Thy grand redemption,
By Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord’s side;
Savior, we are Thine.

Not for weight of glory,
  Not for crown and palm,
Enter we the army,
  Raise the warrior psalm;
But for love that claimeth
  Lives for whom He died;
He whom Jesus nameth
  Must be on His side.

Jesus, Thou hast bought us,
  Not with gold or gem,
But with Thine own life-blood,
  For Thy diadem;
With Thy blessing filling
  Each who comes to Thee,
Thou hast made us willing,
  Thou hast made us free.

Fierce may be the conflict,
  Strong may be the foe,
But the King’s own army
  None can overthrow.
Round His standard ranging
  Victory is secure,
For His truth unchanging
  Makes the triumph sure.

Chosen to be soldiers
  In an alien land:
Chosen, called, and faithful,
  For our Captain’s band;
In the service royal
  Let us not grow cold;
Let us be right loyal,
  Noble, true, and bold.

Great to be reminded that Victory is secured if we do not grow cold! Jesus is our Commander-in-Chief who loves us & bought us with His life-blood!

Worshipping God as the Captain of Jehovah’s Army

----------------

In the book of Joshua, God commissioned Joshua to lead the Israelites into the land of Canaan. What a weighty responsibility! Moses had become old and died; Aaron had died as well. The only person left was the young man Joshua. Those who had the ability to bear this burden had already gone, leaving a young man alone. What could he do? What must he have felt? The mature, experienced Moses could not do it; how can a young man like himself do it? How could he cope with the seven formidable tribes inhabiting the land of Canaan? And how could he lead a people like the children of Israel with their fear of death and their constant complaints? Joshua was faced with this challenge. Can we blame him for feeling overwhelmed? No, we cannot. If we were in the same circumstances, we would feel overwhelmed too.

At this point, however, Joshua saw a vision of a great Man with a drawn sword. Joshua did not recognize the Man and asked, “Are You for us or for our adversaries? ” (5:13). We must pay close attention to this question. How did the Man answer him? Many people erroneously believe that the Man said He had come to help Joshua, but the Man did not answer in this way. In His answer He first said, “Neither, ” that is, I am not here to help you, nor to help your adversaries. I am here for only one thing; “as the Captain of Jehovah’s army have I now come” (v. 14). Thank God for doing this. Thank God that this is what the Lord Jesus does! He does not help us, neither does He help our adversaries, but He comes as the Captain of the Lord’s army. If we are God’s army, then He comes to be our Captain. This is not a question of receiving help, but of accepting leadership. He has not come to offer assistance but to demand subjection. He does not come to help but to lead. He says, “As the Captain of Jehovah’s army have I now come. ” How did Joshua react when he heard these words? “Joshua fell to the ground upon his face and worshipped. ”

Brothers and sisters, we must learn the ways of God, and this is another of His ways. God does nothing to assist us or to assist our enemies. God does not stand in the midst of the conflict giving a little help here or there. God wants to be the Captain, and He demands our submission. In the face of so many foes, the need would not be answered if God merely helped us. Submitting to Him will solve the whole problem.

Oh my God this hymn is so beautiful, it reminds me to be on the Lord's side and also wherever there's doubt this song helps me overwhelm it all.

Am glad and proud that I first learnt it in my language Ateso.

I find myself in the midst of politicking, canal, vain-glory-seeking Pastors who seek position and power in ministry, compromising standards, divine standards, for which Christ died. They oppress others who are not in their interest and party and I wonder what God would do about it.

I stand alone on the Lord's side and I have vowed to remain faithful to God and to speak against pastoral iniquities and injustices in pastoral ministry. It is this song that joins others to help me continue on the Lord's side in all of these.
