Approaching our Appointment


"Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way" (Psalm 119:104).  "Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things" (Proverbs 28:5).  "Who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto Me? saith the LORD" (Jeremiah 30:21).  "As it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27). 

Through precepts given by the Lord,
We see there is a consequence
Whenever God's way is ignored
And souls abandon His defense.    

The holiness of God demands
That judgment must be satisfied. 
The one who seeks Him understands
The reason Christ our Savior died. 

Approaching our appointed end
That draws us closer to the grave
Should cause us all to comprehend
That none but Jesus Christ can save! 

We are engaged, Lord, to pursue
Your heart as we approach by grace
With our appointment yet in view
When we shall see You face to face!
