"For, lo, they that are far from Thee shall perish... But it is good for me to draw near to God" (Psalm 73:27,28). "For the turning away of the simple shall slay them... But whoso hearkeneth unto Me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil" (Proverbs 1:32,33). "Thou hast in love to my soul... cast all my sins behind Thy back" (Isaiah 38:17). "For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation... but the sorrow of the world worketh death" (2 Corinthians 7:10).
How
good it is when hearts are drawn
To
follow where the Lord will lead.
How
soon the rebel's days are gone,
Who
yet denies his dreadful need.
All
those who turn away from God
Are
walking on a dreadful path.
They
won't escape His judgment rod
Unless
they flee from coming wrath.
Yet
those who trust in Christ the Lord
Shall
find their Hiding Place from fear.
No
wonder Christ is so adored:
He
gave Himself to draw us near!
The
love that Christ has for our soul
Shall
never wane, nor shall it lack.
He
paid our debt for sins in full,
And
cast them all behind His back.
O
Lord, we thank You that You sent
A
godly sorrow to our heart,
That
called us truly to repent
And
from rebellion to depart.
And
now, Lord, with our borrowed breath,
We're
drawing near to You to say,
We
thank You that You suffered death
To
meet our dreadful need that day!
