No Cause, No Curse

"Then Balak... called Balaam... to curse you. But I would not hearken unto Balaam, therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand" (Joshua 24:9,10). "The curse causeless shall not come" (Proverbs 26:2).

It only takes a moment's pause
To see the evidence
That judgment's curse has ample cause
To bring its consequence.

The curse was ours! We were undone!
We went from bad to worse,
But God sent His beloved Son
To bear away our curse.

Not only is the curse removed,
But by Him we are blessed!
And though by grace we're still reproved,
We need not be distressed.

For God who took our sin away
Is working in us still
To thus conform us everyday
More to His perfect will.
