Sharing amid Shouting

"And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defense unto the people. But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians" (Acts 19:33,34).

The world chooses not to hear
The truth that leaves no doubt.
So if a voice would make it clear,
They simply drown it out.

Those who give a clear defense
That Jesus Christ is Lord,
No matter how much evidence,
Are often just ignored.

There may be those among that crowd
To whom our God is speaking;
So while the Gospel is allowed,
We preach for those yet seeking.

The world has its angry voices
That shout with consternation.
We do not make for them their choices,
But plead for their salvation.
