"Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about? They that trust in their wealth... none of them can by any means redeem his brother.... Nevertheless man being in honor abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.... But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for He shall receive me" (Psalm 49:6,7,15).
Judgment comes, and come it must,
As is appointed when we die.
Whom, in that day, will you trust?
Are you confiding in a lie?
Things are not now what they seem,
As many put their trust in wealth,
And some will trust in high esteem,
And others boast of robust health.
Yet by their wealth they can't redeem
Nor ransom even one poor soul.
Their honor is a fading dream,
And health eludes them when they're old.
Where will be your confidence
When God will judge iniquity?
In riches there is no defense,
And temporary comforts flee.
BUT GOD redeems those who believe
And put their trust in Christ alone,
And by His grace He will receive,
Defend, and claim them as His own.
