Accountable to the Almighty


“I have kept Thy precepts and Thy testimonies: for all my ways are before Thee” (Psalm 119:168).  “He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.  Many seek the ruler's favor; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD” (Proverbs 29:1,25,26).  “But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by Him” (1 Corinthians 8:6). 

Accountability to God
Will surely guide our ways aright. 
It matters not if none applaud
When we are pleasing in His sight. 

The fear of man will bring a snare
And rob us of our confidence. 
We ought to cast on God our care
And trust the Lord for His defense. 

Though many do not realize
That they shall stand before the Lord,
The truth remains that fools despise,  
Which they have willfully ignored. 

The one who often is reproved,
And yet his neck is hardened still,
Shall one day see his hope removed,
Destroyed, at last, by his own will. 

Almighty God, our King of kings,
We thank You for Your gracious favor
That we have found beneath Your wings
As You are watching our behavior. 

We live our life accountably,  
Almighty Lord, to You alone. 
In You we’ve found our remedy
With grace extended from Your throne!

Almighty Savior, in this place
Where hearts are made accountable,
We preach the Gospel of Your grace,
The only refuge for the soul!
