"O come, let us worship.... Today if ye will hear His voice, harden not your heart, as in the provocation.... It is a people that do err in their heart" (Psalm 95:6-10). "Again, He limiteth a certain day, saying in David, Today, after so long a time, as it is said, Today if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts.... lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. For the Word of God is quick and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight" (Hebrews 4:7-13).
The eyes of God behold each heart;
He knows our every secret thought,
So by His Word He will impart
Discernment if we're true or not.
The superficial praise of those
Who do not mean the words they say
The Word of God will thus expose,
To turn them while it's called Today.
God's Word is like a sharpened sword
That will discern our thought's intent,
And thus would turn us to the Lord,
Whose goodness leads us to repent.
O Lord, we thank You for Your Word
Dividing spirit, soul, and bone,
Reproving shallowness You've heard,
Until we worship You alone.
