Why, Mighty Hero, Must You Boast
Author: David G. Preston Hymnal: Christian Worship #52A (2021) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: Why, mighty hero, must you boast Lyrics: 1 Why, mighty hero, must you boast
of cruelty and of crime,
yet disregard God's steadfast love
which lasts throughout all time?
How razor-sharp your deadly tongue,
what treach'ry you devise!
You cling to evil, hate the good,
and love pernicious lies.
2 But God will tear you clean away
from all the wealth you own,
from home and fam'ly, life itself,
to reap what you have sown.
The righteous will look on in awe,
and with relief will say:
"We knew his trust was not in God;
in wealth and greed it lay."
3 But I am like an olive tree
that thrives in God's domain,
dependent on his steadfast love
whose pow'r can never wane.
I will forever give you praise
for what your hand has done,
hope in your name, and with your saints
make all your goodness known.
