Counsel that Continues

"Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end. There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand" (Proverbs 19:20,21). "Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away" (Mark 13:31).

How can a person be wise in the end
With so many different counsels today?
That will completely and surely depend
On which of those counsels you choose to obey.

Hold to the counsel of God in His Word!
No other counsel shall finally stay.
All of the contrary counsels you've heard,
Like heaven and earth, shall soon pass away.

The counsel of God shall continue forever,
Instructing us daily, enlightening our eyes.
Hold to His precepts, forsaking them never,
That you may be found in the end to be wise.
