Tremble Today


"Today if ye will hear His voice, harden not your heart… as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:  when your fathers tempted Me, proved Me, and saw My work.  Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart… unto whom I sware in My wrath that they should not enter into My rest" (Psalm 95:7-11).  "I saw a great white throne… and I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God… And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire" (Revelation 20:11-15).  

Today we hear the mockers scorning
God's gracious offer to be pardoned,
While heaven gives the solemn warning
To hear His voice and not be hardened. 

As in the desert's provocation  
When rebels would not heed His voice,
The Lord today extends salvation,
But hearts are hardened still by choice. 

We hear the voice of God attest,
Since they refused to know His ways,
That rebels wouldn't find His rest
Prepared for those who give Him praise. 

We pray that sinners yet may tremble,
O Lord, TODAY to find Your favor
Before the time that souls assemble
At judgment's throne without a Savior.
