Hearing when Hopeless


"When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words" (Psalm 141:6).  "He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy" (Proverbs 29:1).  "They shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment... and consume away for their iniquity" (Ezekiel 4:16,17).  "I heard a voice... say, A measure of wheat for a penny... and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine" (Revelation 6:6). 

The Lord has made His judgments known;
The wrath of God has been revealed. 
Yet some wait till they're overthrown
When there's no hope of being healed. 

The time when hardened hearts will hear
Who have refused God's remedy
Is when they are consumed with fear
And hopeless then eternally. 

God's Word came with admonishment,
Foretelling through Ezekiel
The famine of astonishment
Upon the house of Israel. 

We're hearing, Lord, in Revelation,
That there are hopeless days to come.
Yet NOW we preach of Your salvation,
That we, by all means, may save some.
