"If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?... The LORD'S… eyelids try the children of men" (Psalm 11:3,4). "My son... understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God… that thou mayest walk in the way of good men" (Proverbs 2:1-5,20). "They said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart" (Jeremiah 18:12). "See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil" (Ephesians 5:15,16).
There is a calling
that is wise,
Foundational to
all that's true:
We walk before
God's searching eyes
To honor Him in
all we do.
This is our
basic understanding
Of any measure
of success:
We fear the Lord
and His commanding
To walk in paths
of righteousness.
Though many say,
"There is no hope!"
And in their own
devices wander,
We dare not
slide upon that slope
Which we, with circumspection,
ponder.
On this
foundation, Lord, we climb:
We walk with You
in godly fear
As we redeem the
precious time
And see Your
coming drawing near.
