"I cannot find one wise man among you… and where is now my hope?" (Job 17:10,15). "God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God… there is none that doeth good, no, not one" (Psalm 53:2,3). "Be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off" (Proverbs 23:17-18). "The scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And He was numbered with the transgressors." (Mark 15:28).
Now where is our
hope found today?
And who has the
wisdom to speak
Of truth that is
hidden away
Expounded for
those who will seek?
The Lord looked
from heaven to earth
To see if just
one understood:
Alas! We are sinners from birth!
There's not even
one who is good!
That truth may
be hard to receive,
But it is
essential to hear
To come to the
Lord and believe
As He draws our
hearts by His fear.
Humanity's hope has
been found,
O Lord, in the
sweet expectation
Of Scriptures
fulfilled that abound,
Foretelling Your
wondrous salvation!
