Laughter of the Lost

"Our enemies laugh among themselves" (Psalm 80:6). "If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest" (Proverbs 29:9). "There shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts... they willingly are ignorant" (2 Peter 3:3,5).

There is a laughter of the lost
That scoffs with arrogance.
They do not stop to count the cost
Of willful ignorance.

Though evidence is limitless
In all of God's creation,
Yet they labor to suppress
God's open revelation.

They scorn the truth, they laugh, they smirk,
And follow their own lust.
And sad to say, it seems to work
On those who blindly trust.

There is but one escape today
From this insanity.
The Gospel still is on display
With truth that make us free.

Escape from scornful, mindless mirth!
Now come to God and reason!
You haven't much time left on earth;
Come now! This is the season!
