Truth for Transgressors

“Good understanding giveth favor: but the way of transgressors is hard” (Proverbs 13:15). 

A transgressor wakes every morning
To life that has never made sense,
But God manifests ample warning,
Displaying His great evidence.

Consider the thoughts in the mind
That offers the vain explanation
That nothing on earth is designed,
And nothing was caused by creation!

Yes, this is the transgressor’s way
Who lives without giving regard
To all God has put on display,
Thus choosing the path that is hard. 

The transgressor’s heart is thus hardened
By choosing to walk down this path,
But those who trust Christ will be pardoned,
For He is our Refuge from wrath!

The Lord will give good understanding,
Perceiving why Christ has been sent
To all who will heed His commanding
And humbly draw near to repent. 

The transgressor’s slippery slope
Can now be escaped by God’s favor! 
The Lord Jesus Christ is their Hope,
For He is the transgressor’s Savior! 

O Lord, we give thanks for Your grace
Extended to every transgressor!
Our Savior and our Hiding place,
We’ll praise You forever and ever!
