Voicing vs. Voiding

"It is time for Thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void Thy law.... Therefore I esteem all Thy precepts concerning all things to be right, and I hate every false way" (Psalm 119:126-128). "The unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren. Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the Word of His grace" (Acts 14:2,3).

There is a time to lend our voice
To counter those who void God's Word.
There is a time to make a choice,
And thus defend the truth we've heard.

Let us not be so deceived
To think that evil takes a break;
Surely we who have believed
Should not be making that mistake!

The serpent, speaking in the garden,
Began by asking, "Hath God said?"
How subtly Satan still may harden
The hearts by his deception led!

It's time to work against the lie
That seeks to void God's holy truth!
It's time to boldly testify,
To study, and to train our youth!

O Lord, we see the enemy
On every side still seeks to void
Your truth and Your authority,
Deceiving those he has destroyed.

O Lord, we know the time is right
To labor in Your harvest field
And stand relentless in the fight
With faith in You, our perfect Shield.

Lord, give us help against this flood
Of falsehood in this time and place.
We wrestle not with flesh and blood,
Yet we advance Your Word of grace.
