Frame the Freedom


"Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with Thee, which frameth mischief by a law?... The LORD our God shall cut them off" (Psalm 94:20-23).  "For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolongedThey that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them… Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things" (Proverbs 28:2-5). 

How great is the iniquity  
Of those who frame immoral laws! 
How needful now it is to see  
Our land return to freedom's cause!   

They think that God has neither seen,
Nor heard, nor ever understood  
How they have blurred the lines between  
The evil that replaces good. 

When those who seek the Lord arise,   
He makes them understand His ways,
Who then contend with the unwise,
And thus prolong the nation's days. 

O Lord, how great is our disgrace
When mischief frames unrighteousness!
Let those arise who seek Your face  
To frame the freedom You will bless.
