The
judgments of the Lord are true,
Though
sinners mock as if they’re not. The Lord has shown what He will do,
And souls are left to choose their lot.
Calamity
shall surely come
To
all who will reject salvation. Such was the tragedy of some,
Like Tyrus, that rebellious nation.
The
nations find their judgment here
On
this side of eternity. So much the more, then, souls should fear
And seek from God their remedy!
We
see the terrifying case
Of
Tyrus, which refused God’s warning. The option to refuse God’s grace
Was manifested by their scorning.
The
Lord had promised He would scrape
The
city Tyrus like a rock, So none of them would then escape,
And every mouth would cease to mock.
We
turn now to a later hour
When
Christ fulfilled His prophecies Upon the cross with saving power
When He bore our iniquities!
We
see the mockers wag their head,
Fulfilling
their prophetic role. “Himself He cannot save,” they said
Of Him who would have saved their soul!
No
wonder Jesus spoke of Tyrus
When
He had warned His foes of hell! Indeed, her terror thus should try us,
Reminding us of why they fell!
O
Lord, You’ve shown to us the terror
Of
Tyrus and the rebel heart. By grace we have escaped their error,
And from their judgment thus depart!
Lord,
show us how to reach the lost
That
they may likewise flee from wrath When they shall wisely count the cost
And find in You salvation’s path.
