Regard or Regret

"Because they regard not the works of the Lord, nor the operation of His hands, He shall destroy them, and not build them up" (Psalm 28:5).

It seems so strange to not regard
The works of God in all creation.
Yet many hearts are blind and hard,
Regarding not His operation.

There is a consequence for this
That they'll regret eternally
If they likewise shall dismiss
The work of God on Calvary.

Regard the Lord who has prevailed
By the operation of His hands;
Those hands upon the cross were nailed
To pay the price your sin demands.

Oh the anguished lamentation
That awaits those who ignore
The offer of so great salvation
Freely offered them before!

Seize the opportunity:
Regard the Savior on the cross,
Or regret eternally
Neglect that wrought eternal loss!
