Psalm 120:6,7 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
Proverbs 30:14, 31:8,9 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords… to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men… Open thy mouth plead the cause of the poor and needy... such as are appointed to destruction.
1 Samuel 7:12 Then Samuel took a stone... and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.
Mark 2:17 Jesus… saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
The hope for world peace is bleak;
We dwell with those who are for war,
Though diplomats may with them speak
With urgent pleadings they ignore.
The Lord has helped us hitherto
As with the Gospel we are sent.
Unheeded warnings still are true
As sinners perish or repent.
