"Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste" (Job 20:2). "This I know; for God is for me… for Thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not Thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?" (Psalm 56:9,13). "Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit" (Proverbs 26:5). "Behold, this Child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel… that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed" (Luke 2:34,35).
My thoughts have
caused me to make haste
To answer those
who want to know
Why all my faith
in Christ is placed,
Providing reasons
I may show.
As long as God
shall give me breath,
I will proclaim
His Gospel's calling
That saves me
from the second death
And also keeps my
feet from falling.
A fool may think
that he is wise;
The blind may
lead the blind astray.
God's answer
opens blinded eyes
And warns the fool
to turn today.
The thoughts of many
are revealed,
O Lord, in those
who count the cost,
For all who trust
in You are healed,
And all who turn
away are lost.
