Korah's Kinsmen

"And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company died, what time the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men: and they became a sign. Notwithstanding the children of Korah died not." (Numbers 26:10,11). "To the Chief Musician, Maschil (with Understanding), for the Sons of Korah. As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after Thee, O God" (Psalm 42: Title, verse 1).

Korah and his company
Became a judgment sign.
They perished in their infamy
With rebels of like mind.

The sons of Korah, notwithstanding,
Did not share their fate.
Their thirst for God gave understanding,
Rather than their hate.

Children of this godless age,
Awake! I say, awake!
You do not have to share its rage,
Nor make the same mistake!

The time has come for you to flee
From wrath that's drawing near.
The truth in Christ shall make you free
From judgment and from fear.

Part, I say, from family,
If indeed you must.
For your eternal destiny
Depends on whom you trust.

The sons of Korah, standing true,
Are models for your vision.
May their wisdom guide you through
The valley of decision.
