"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 away their cords from us" (Psalm 2:1-3). "The love of Christ constraineth us" (2 Corinthians 5:14).
Why do the nations rage, and the people conceive what is vain?
Why do the kings of this age refuse to believe what is plain?
Why do they cast away cords, that draw them to trust in the Savior?
The reason is that this affords no constraint on their sinful behavior.
Control us, O Lord, from above, in the midst of this people insane!
Constrain us with cords of Your love! Lord, keep us from living in vain!
Their reason for rage against You is that they have chosen a lie.
Lord, lead us to all that is true, by the love that compelled You to die.
