Astonished and Admonished

"And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible" (Mark 10:26,27).

How right it is to be astonished
At what our God has done!
Let apathy be thus admonished
And praise be to His Son!

With men it was impossible
For sinners to be saved;
Only God could save the soul,
So hopelessly depraved.

Forgive our ho-hum attitude
And our complacency
Diminishing our gratitude,
Displaced by apathy!

And thus reproved, we stand amazed
And gratefully adore
Our Lord who is so rightly praised
Both now and evermore!
