The Fear to Forsake

"What man is he that feareth the Lord? Him shall He teach in the way that He shall choose" (Psalm 25:12). "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. Happy is the man that feareth [God] always: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief" (Proverbs 28:13,14).

Who is the one with the fear of the Lord?
He is the one God will teach in His way.
Though he may stumble, he shall be restored.
The fear of the Lord shall teach him to pray.

Happy is he with the fear of the Lord,
Exposing the sin that God bids him forsake.
This is the mercy God's fear shall afford,
With grace to abandon a sinful mistake.
