"If thine heart turn away… ye shall surely perish… I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life" (Deuteronomy 30:17-19). "Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law" (Psalm 119:53). "He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy" (Proverbs 29:1). "[Jesus] looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts" (Mark 3:5).
How
horrible the hardness is
Of
those who turn their heart from God,
Refusing
blessings that are His,
Exchanged
for judgment from His rod.
But
hardened hearts shall stand in awe
And horror, without remedy,
Recalling
that they spurned God's law
Which
offered life eternally.
The
law which prophesied of Christ
Portrayed
the remedy God gave.
The
Lamb of God was sacrificed
For
sinners whom He died to save.
O
Lord, such hardness in the heart
Which
turns from You is horrible!
We
pray for grace that You impart
To draw the humble, trembling soul.
