Rationale of our Rhetoric

"And why call ye Me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" (Luke 6:46).

It is a valid question
The Lord is asking us:
Its obvious suggestion
Exposes whom we trust.

Why do we call Jesus Lord,
But do not what He said?
Do we think we can afford
To trust ourselves instead?

Do we think we have a plan
Superior to His?
How foolish is the mind of man!
How arrogant it is!

Lord, save us from the foolishness
That does not what You say:
With lips that outwardly confess,
But hearts that don't obey.
