Divinely Divided

"Men of the world... have their portion in this life... As for me, I will behold Thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness" (Psalm 17:14,15).  "A just [i.e., justified] man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief" (Proverbs 24:16).  "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.... A man's foes shall be they of his own household" (Matthew 10:34-36). 

There is a temporary gain

This world greatly has esteemed,

But this is wealth that's held in vain

Unless the soul has been redeemed. 

The Lord divides humanity

By those who will receive the Savior

And those, who by insanity,

Refuse the offer of His favor. 

All sinners shall be justified

Who humbly will receive the Lord,

And by this line shall God divide

The lost and saved with heaven's sword. 

O Lord, how many are misguided

By lies which turn their hearts from grace

And thus Divinely are divided

From those who shall behold Your face!
