Marvelous Mistake

"The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvelous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes" (John 9:30).

There is a marvelous mistake,
In view of all the proof we find,
In spite of all that is at stake,
That blinds the unbelieving mind.

How marvelous it is indeed
That there can be such apathy,
Though God will testify and plead
Regarding our eternity!

There is an awful consequence
For walking down that fearful path
That scoffs at all the evidence,
Indifferent to eternal wrath.

How marvelous is unbelief
That turns a blind eye to the proof!
How great will be the endless grief
Of all who choose to stand aloof!

God has spoken without error:
There is no reason we should take
The path that leads to hopeless terror;
How marvelous is that mistake!
