Hiding our Hardening

"O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our Maker. For He is our God; and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand. Today if ye will hear His voice, harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness" (Psalm 95:6-8).

The Gospel music may be playing,
The call to worship loud,
Yet hear now what the Lord is saying,
We're not lost in the crowd.

The worship lyrics are not wrong,
That call us here to kneel,
But God does not reprove the song,
But hearts that He would heal.

How subtle is the hardened heart
Beneath the happy mask
That sings the song and plays the part;
O what a weary task!

Today your weary heart is bidden
To hear God's voice contest.
Your hardened heart has not been hidden;
Return and find your rest!
