"Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his Anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us" (Psalm 2:1-3). "Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? For this Man doeth many miracles… Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put Him to death" (John 11:47-53).
Why
do the nations rage in vain
With
counsel that is not the Lord's?
What
can they ever hope to gain
By
casting off the Savior's cords?
With
cords of love the Lord has drawn
The
nations of humanity!
Where
has their sense of reason gone,
Allowing
such insanity?
The
chief priests and the Pharisees,
Who
saw the miracles of Christ,
With
callous counsel gave decrees
That
this Man should be sacrificed.
O
Lord, how callous and how blind
Is
counsel that rejects Your grace!
We
pray for those who yet may find
Salvation
as they seek Your face.
