Faithful in the Fog


"I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget Thy statutes… All thy commandments are faithful" (Psalm 119:83,86).  "Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things" (Proverbs 28:5).  "They have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept His commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after the which their fathers have walked" (Amos 2:4).  "Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God… If any man have ears to hear, let him hear" (Mark 4:11,23). 

The fog is growing thicker still
As sinners seek for satisfaction
Who yet reject God's perfect will
And are deceived with vain distraction.

Yet God's commandments still remain
As faithful as in days of old,
Though sinners search for truth in vain,
Unmindful of what God foretold. 

They have despised God's proven Word
As truth has been exchanged for lies. 
The falsehood that they have preferred   
Shall hide the Savior from their eyes. 

O Lord, amid the fog it's clear
That You are faithful every day. 
We plead with those who yet will hear
Your voice that calls them to obey.
