You and whose army?


Napoleon riding on his horse 
The British Expeditionary Force 
The Vikings and the Visigoths 
An Airforce flight of Tiger Moths 
Attila’s sweeping horde of Huns 
The French artillery at Verdun 
Erwin Rommel’s Afrika Korps 
The Russian Navy’s ships of war 
The Argentine Pucara planes 
Arabs attacking Turkish trains 
Hitler’s armoured Panzer groups 
Ten regiments of paratroops 
The Armada of the Spanish king 
The soldiers of the Emperor Ming 
A squadron of the boys in blue 
Every elephant that ever lived in a zoo 
America’s nuclear submarines 
All of England’s kings and queens 
and every army at their command 
none could pluck me from Your hand 
None of these is tough enough 
to trouble you at any hour 
None of these is strong enough 
to overcome Your resurrection power
