"O taste and see that the LORD is good " (Psalm 34:8). "Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye... My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways" (Proverbs 23:6,26). "The heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them" (Acts 28:27).
O
taste and see: the Lord is good!
O
hear Him as you still are able.
Give
Him your heart; you rightly should
As
He invites you to His table.
Eat
not the bread of one who strays
With
evil eye and erring ear.
Give
Christ your heart; observe His ways,
Who
gave Himself to draw You near.
How
great the invitation is
To
see and hear our Lord and Savior
Which
He extends to all of His
As
He delights us with His favor.
In
spite of all our Savior did,
Displaying
how He died and rose,
His
lovingkindness still is hid
From
evil eyes which some still close.
How
fearful is the heart condition
Which
"waxes gross," becoming dense,
Both
blind and deaf to the perdition
Which
comes with judgment's consequence.
Lord,
thank You for ability
To
hear the truth concerning You!
We've
opened wide our eyes to see
Your
wondrous love that fills our view.
Lord,
show us how to reach the soul
With
evil eyes that are so blind
And
erring ears that are so dull
To
show Your grace which they may find.
