Words of Warning


"The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether... Moreover by them is Thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward" (Psalm 19:9-11).  "The curse causeless shall not come" (Proverbs 26:2).  "I have set thee a watchman... therefore thou shalt hear the word at My mouth, and warn them from Me" (Ezekiel 33:7).  "Every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment" (Matthew 12:36).

The judgments of the Lord are true
Which mockers in our day have scorned. 
The words of God correct our view
And by them we are also warned. 

There is a great and sure reward
To all who hear and will obey
The words proceeding from the Lord
Instructing us along the way. 

The Lord has given us His laws
To show that sin demands the curse,
But after we declare the cause,    
We preach the Gospel, verse by verse!

We know, Lord, we're accountable
For every idle word and deed,
And so we're warning every soul
To find in You the grace they need.
