"Thy Word is settled in heaven" (Psalm 119:89). "An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbor: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered" (Proverbs 11:9). "A Man shall be as an Hiding Place… as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land… For the vile person will… practice hypocrisy… to make empty the soul of the hungry… The work of righteousness shall be peace… and assurance forever" (Isaiah 32:2,6,17). "What He [God] had promised, He was able also to perform… for our justification" (Romans 4:21,25).
God's Word is
now settled forever
In heaven, as
sure as His throne.
The hypocrite,
though he be clever,
Can't change
what the Lord has made known!
The hypocrite
puts on a show,
Destroying his
neighbor with error,
But God, by His Word,
will bestow
A Refuge that
hides us from terror.
Hypocrisy boasts
very much,
Then breaks
every oath that is spoken.
The Lord is our
Shelter from such;
His promises
never are broken.
You've hidden us,
Lord, from the storm
Hypocrisy's
error has stirred:
We see that You
always perform
Your promises
found in Your Word!
