Haters of Heaven

“The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto Him: but their time should have endured forever” (Psalm 81:15).  “They despised all My reproof” (Proverbs 1:30).  “They hated Me without a cause” (John 15:25). 

The haters of Christ have thus spoken:  

We’ll not have Him over us reign!

The bands of His mercy they’ve broken,

The cords of His love they disdain. 

Despising our Savior’s reproof

And thus making light of His laws,

They blindly are standing aloof

And hating our Lord without cause. 

These haters of heaven by choice

Have turned from the Lord and His love. 

They’ve chosen to not hear the voice

Of Him who yet speaks from above. 

Let souls now beware of their way

And distance themselves from the path

Of souls blindly going astray,

Unmindful of God’s coming wrath!

O Lord, we are debtors to grace

And objects of heaven’s compassion! 

How great is Your love that we trace

Which sought after us in this fashion! 

We see, Lord, the pathway is broad

That leads to the soul’s condemnation,

That turns from the mercy of God,

And thereby refuses salvation. 

Lord, help us by grace to be wise

To turn those yet blinded by hate,

That You may thus open their eyes

To trust You before it’s too late!
