Maker and Mentor

"Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn Thy commandments" (Psalm 119:73). "The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the Maker of them all" (Proverbs 22:2).

The Lord is the Maker and Mentor of all;
Some pay attention, and some have refused.
Those who reject His instruction will fall,
Remaining in darkness, deceived and confused.

How foolish it is to refuse the instruction
Of God who has made us and fashioned our hearts!
They walk on in darkness to their own destruction
And cast aside mercy and truth God imparts.

The rich and the poor, the high and the low,
And everyone else who is somewhere between,
Have all been invited to come and to know
The truth that can free them and make their souls clean.

Maker and Mentor, we're made by Your hands,
And You are the One who instructs us as well.
Give us a heart that still more understands
Your love that constrains us and saves us from hell.
