Watchmen for Warning


"O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of battle" (Psalm 140:7).  "Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things" (Proverbs 28:5).  "Son of man, I have made thee a watchman... therefore hear the Word at My mouth, and give them warning from Me" (Ezekiel 3:17).  "Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by Thy blood...  and hast made us unto our God kings and priests" (Revelation 5:9,10).

The Lord, the Strength of our salvation
Has made us watchmen who are warning
That judgment comes with condemnation
To sinful men who yet are scorning. 

The battle in our day yet rages,
Yet evil men know not these things.
We speak to them from Scripture's pages
By God's command as priests and kings. 

As Noah built before the flood
The ark, where safety was assured,
We show redemption through Christ's blood
By God's authoritative Word. 

O Lord, as watchmen You have sent,
We take the warning You convey
To plead with sinners to repent
And trust in You while yet they may.
