"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God" (Psalm 53:1). "He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy... Where there is no vision, the people perish " (Proverbs 29:1,18). "They consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness" (Hosea 7:2). "Simeon... said unto Mary His mother, Behold, this Child is set for the fall and rising again of many... that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed" (Luke 2:34,35).
The fool has said within his heart,
"There is no God." That's not surprising,
For that's when vision will depart,
And ruin then replaces rising.
The fool may sound intelligent,
Though this, of course, seems very odd,
Yet those who choose to not repent
Reject their remedy from God.
The fool forgets, but God does not,
That sin must reap a consequence.
Each sinful action, word, and thought
Demands a righteous recompense.
O Lord, our hearts have been revealed:
We've found in You our remedy!
Escaping ruin, we are healed
To rise with You eternally!
