"The Lord is... not willing that any should perish.... But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in the which the heavens shall pass away... the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.... Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be?" (2 Peter 3:9-11).
In view of the love of our God for mankind,
Not willing to see even one sinner perish,
As He looks upon us, what then should He find
Regarding our manner and things that we cherish?
In view of the day of the Lord that draws near
That surely will come as a thief in the night,
What manner of persons ought we to be here,
Assured of the judgment that God brings to light?
Lord, give us wisdom in this latter day
To live in a manner that glorifies You!
The heavens and earth shall soon pass away;
Revive in us holiness with this in view!
