1  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!

 2  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!

 3  What 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!
