"Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation [lit. O silent ones]? Do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?" (Psalm 58:1). "Every way of man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts. To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice" (Proverbs 21:2,3). "Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment" (John 7:24).
Do we thus speak with righteousness
If our objections are not raised?
Indeed we don't! And how much less,
When good is scorned and evil praised!
The Lord makes us accountable
To say and do the thing that's right.
As atheism takes its toll,
We're called to stand as salt and light.
Unrighteous judgment has its start
Whenever silence gives consent.
But God is pondering the heart,
And calls upon us to repent.
In our society and schools
Where atheism reigns supreme,
Lord, help us walk now, not as fools,
As time, with wisdom, we redeem.
