"Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God. But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value" (Job 13:3,4). "I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths" (Proverbs 4:11). "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD" (Isaiah 1:18). "Jesus saith... What have I to do with thee?... And needed not that any should testify of man: for He knew what was in man" (John 2:4,25).
There
is a remedy we find
As
God extends His invitation
To
satisfy the troubled mind
That
seeks a refuge of salvation.
There
is a longing in the heart
To
know the truth that makes us free,
Which
faith and reason will impart
As
God instructs us graciously.
Though
many still are forging lies,
There
is way to now discern
Between
the foolish and the wise
As
God invites us now to learn.
Yet
reason has its greatest goal
In
God's salvation that we gain.
If
man should lose his very soul,
All
other reasoning is vain.
Now
what have we to do with God?
He
either is our Judge or Savior!
It
matters not what men applaud
If
we do not obtain God's favor!
So
"come now," God Almighty said,
"And
let us reason," it is written.
For
us the Lamb of God was led
As
to the slaughter to be smitten.
The
remedy for sinful man
Through
Christ, the Gospel is revealing.
How
vain is any other plan
That
has no answer for our healing!
Lord,
thank You for the remedy
That
saves us from eternal loss!
You've
shown us the necessity
To
find our refuge in Your cross!
O
Lord, Your remedy and reason
Which
brought You here to die for us
Constrains
us now in every season
To
preach Your Word so marvelous!
