Representative Text

1 There is, beyond the azure blue, a God concealed from human sight, He tinted skies with heav'nly hue and framed the worlds with His great might.

Refrain: There is a God, He is alive, in Him we live, and we survive; From dust our God created man, He is our God, the great I AM.

2 There was, a long, long time ago, a God whose voice the prophets heard, He is the God that we should know, who speaks from His inspired Word. [Refrain]

3 Secure is life from mortal mind, God holds the germ within His hand, Tho' men may search, they cannot find, for God alone does understand. [Refrain]

4 Our God, whose Son upon the tree, a life was willing there to give, That He from sin might set man free, and evermore with Him could live. [Refrain]

Author: A. W. Dicus

Aaron Wesley Dicus was born in 1888 in Festus, Missouri. He was a man with high moral principles. He joined the Churches of Christ because it subscribed to the Bible alone, which appealed to his analytical, scientific mind. He made a vow to the Lord that if he received an education he would spend his life in service to the Lord. He became widely known as an evangelist, as well as a professor of physics at Tennessee Tech. In his later years, he worked hard at song writing which used his talents with poetry and music, along with his knowledge of God's word, to continue his work of evangelism. by permission of Phyllis Dicus, from Songs and Hymns by A.
