"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God" (Psalm 53:1). "When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth" (Proverbs 11:7). "Let no man deceive himself" (1 Corinthians 3:18).
How
foolishly many reject
The
grace of our Lord they resist,
Deceiving
themselves to expect
That
God simply doesn't exist.
This
notion is not only vain,
It's
wicked rebellion as well.
The
truth about God is so plain,
Deception
arises from hell.
The
wicked man's vain expectation
Shall
change just as soon as he dies.
He'll
know he rejected salvation
Because
he refused to be wise.
How
sadly are souls self-deceived
By
lies which they vainly have cherished!
Their
anguish shall not be relieved
When
their expectation has perished!
Lord,
help us to bring Your persuasion
To
those who are shunning Your favor,
So
they may yet seize the occasion
To
turn and to trust You as Savior.
How
fearfully people are dying,
Deceived
on the slippery slope!
Lord,
send us to them testifying
To
show that in You there is hope!
