"Why died I not from the womb?" (Job 3:11). "I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred. My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned" (Psalm 39:2,3). "Wisdom… crieth upon the highest places of the city… Forsake the foolish, and live" (Proverbs 9:1,3,6). "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations… teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen" (Matthew 28:19,20).
There
is a purpose God has planned,
Which
He ordained before our birth,
That
we might heed our Lord's command
To
magnify Him in the earth.
No
wonder David's heart was stirred
When
he was silent in frustration:
He
held the fire of God's Word
Which
prophesied of our salvation!
Let
wisdom cry in every place:
Forsake
the foolishness of sin!
The
Savior knocks with truth and grace
To
save those who will let Him in!
Our
silence, Lord, is sorrowful,
When
we are called to speak instead.
Instill
in us the simple goal
To
go and do as You have said.
