Accounted Accursed

"If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema (Accursed); Maranatha (The Lord Comes)" (1 Corinthians 16:22).

If any man love not the Lord,
Then count that one accursed.
His lesser loves cannot afford
A well to quench his thirst.

If any man love not the Lord,
His poverty is great!
He cannot know God's grace outpoured
In his deprived estate.

If any man love not the Lord,
Then let us for him pray!
What does he have to look toward
When Christ returns one day?

If any man love not the Lord,
He has not yet perceived
The reason Christ should be adored,
And He should be received.

If any man love not the Lord,
Oh, what a tragedy,
That Jesus Christ should be ignored
Who is His remedy!

If any man love not the Lord,
Still Christ for him was cursed.
Yes! For him Christ was abhorred,
When Satan wrought his worst.

If any man love not the Lord,
Plead for his soul today,
That he will fear the judgment stored
For those who go astray.
