Case for the Curse


"These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes" (Psalm 50:21).  "The curse causeless shall not come" (Proverbs 26:2).  "As they were increased, so they sinned against Me: therefore will I change their glory into shame" (Hosea 4:7).  "He [Jesus] saved others; Himself He cannot save" (Mark 15:31). 

God's silence does not indicate
That judgment never shall arise,
For sinners yet shall hear Him state
And make His case before their eyes. 

The curse shall come when there is cause,
That justice may be satisfied
According to God's holy laws,
By which the sinner shall be tried. 

There is but one escape from wrath:
By trusting in our Savior's name.   
Salvation has no other path;
All other roads will lead to shame. 

O Lord, we thank You for the case
By which You will dismiss the curse:  
All those who trust You find Your grace
With blessings You will not reverse.
