Tenderness or Terror


"They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course" (Psalm 82:5).  "The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them... He that winneth souls is wise" (Proverbs 11:3,30).  "I have caused My terror in the land of the living" (Ezekiel 32:32).  "Hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: for the great day of His wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?" (Revelation 6:16,17). 

A moral darkness shrouds the land
That twists the course of earth's foundations
When hearts refuse to understand
And walk in vain imaginations. 

Integrity shall be the guide
For those who choose Christ's tenderness,
But those who walk instead in pride
Reject God's gift of righteousness. 

The terror of God's coming wrath
Shall come to those who close their eyes,
But those who show salvation's path
Are winning souls and shall be wise. 

O Lord, the day of tenderness
Or terror is a standing choice. 
We preach the Gospel that will bless
The humble who will hear Your voice.
