Futile Fight


"Surely the wrath of man shall praise Thee: the remainder of wrath shalt Thou restrain" (Psalm 76:10).  "My son, attend unto My wisdom… Lest thou give… thy years unto the cruel" (Proverbs 5:1,9).  "Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee… and I shall set glory in the land of the living" (Ezekiel 26:3,20).  "Earnestly contend for the faith… For there are certain men… even as Sodom and Gomorrha… set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire" (Jude 3,4,7). 

The fool will fight the Lord in vain,
For God shall surely be exalted.
The wrath of man He shall restrain; 
If void of praise, it shall be halted. 

It surely is a futile goal
To fight the true and living God! 
It's self-destructive to the soul
And visited by judgment's rod. 

The Word of God to Tyrus came,
Which many scorned and set aside, 
Like Sodom also, to their shame,
And thus the Lord was glorified. 

O Lord, how futile is the fight
Against You by humanity! 
We thank You that Your Gospel's light
Exposes such insanity!
