"The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth" (Psalm 145:18). "I will pardon them whom I reserve" (Jeremiah 50:20). "Save yourselves from this untoward generation" (Acts 2:40).
Who indeed has God reserved
For pardon by His grace?
Grace, we know, is not deserved
In all the human race.
What then is the basis for
God setting us apart?
It's not that one deserves it more,
But a true, repentant heart.
The Lord is near to all that call,
That call on Him in truth.
Rich and poor, come, one and all,
The elder and the youth.
Save yourself, then, from this age,
A wicked generation
That yet against the Lord will rage
And spurn His great salvation.
Be parted from the dreadful path
Of those whose hearts are hardened,
Who willfully are choosing wrath,
Instead of being pardoned.
