People are Perishing

"Know ye that the LORD, He is God: it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves" (Psalm 100:3). "Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction" (Proverbs 31:8). "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" (Hosea 4:6). "Be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me" (Acts 27:25).

People now perish for lack of the truth:
Destruction awaits those refusing God's knowledge.
Godless instruction is taught to our youth
In primary classrooms as well as in college.

How can they come to the foolish conclusion
That we made ourselves by blind circumstance?
Open your mouth to expose this confusion:
It's God who has made us, not purposeless chance!

We thank you, O Lord, for the knowledge You gave
By sending Your prophets to clearly foretell
The coming of Christ and His power to save
The souls who will trust Him to save them from hell!
