Fear the Lord or Fall for Lies


"I will hear what God the LORD will speak… Surely His salvation is nigh them that fear Him" (Psalm 85:8,9).  "A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident… A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.  In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and His children shall have a place of refuge.  The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death" (Proverbs 14:16,25-27).  "Men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not" (Revelation 9:20). 

It's wise to hear what God will speak,
For His salvation shall be near
To those who fear Him and will seek
The truth His Gospel shall make clear. 

The wise man fears and flees from sin. 
The fool will rage with confidence. 
The witness who is true shall win
The humble sinner who repents. 

There is a perfect Hiding Place,
For all who flee to Jesus Christ,
Where truth is reconciled with grace,
Since He, for us, was sacrificed.

How strangely, Lord, do men resist
The Gospel that their heart denies,
But truth, unchanged, shall still exist: 
They'll fear You or they'll fall for lies.
