"Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? Behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the Lord hath afflicted me in the day of His fierce anger" (Lamentations 1:12).
Is it nothing to you,
All you who pass by?
With such sorrow in view,
Will you not wonder why?
It is here we discern
By this great devastation
That indifference will earn
In the end condemnation.
Is it nothing to you
Who pass by the cross?
Will you not think it through,
Why our Lord suffered loss?
Our Lord left His throne
To die in our place,
To ransom His own,
And to save us by grace.
Is it nothing to you
That He rose from the dead
As He promised to do,
And the prophets had said?"
Then what will it take
That your heart may be stirred?
Oh sleeper, awake
To the truth of God's Word!
