Wise Whys

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against His anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast their cords from us" (Psalm 2:1-3). "I drew them with cords of a Man, with bands of love" (Hosea 11:4).

Why do the nations rage?
Why do they think a vain thing?
Why do they still seek to wage
A war against Christ, our great King?

Why do they still cast away,
The cords of our dear Savior's love?
What more could the Lord do or say,
Since He came down from heaven above?
