"Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker!.... Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker.... There is no God else beside Me; a just God and a Savior; there is none beside Me. Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else" (Isaiah 45:21,22). "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life, and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life" (1 John 5:11,12).
What kind of man with his Maker would strive?
To do so, it certainly seems, would be odd!
Alas! There are many who think they'll survive,
Opposing themselves as they fight against God!
Woe to that one who refuses God's love,
And thereby will choose to receive condemnation!
The place for repentance is HERE, not above,
And NOW is the time to receive His salvation!
"Look unto Me," says the Lord, "and be saved,"
Extending His offer to all of the earth!
What kind of madness is this, so depraved,
That strives against God and refuses new birth?
Lord, we behold with amazement the choice
That many are making to fight against You!
Yet in this madness we'd lift up our voice,
Declaring the Gospel that's nonetheless true.
Help us, O Lord, in this spiritual strife
To preach with more boldness that souls may be won,
To show that the singular way to have life
And peace with You, Lord, is by having Your Son.
