Congregation of the Cursed

"Gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field, for...  the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die... And he that regarded not the Word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field" (Exodus 9:19-21).  "Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous" (Psalm 1:5).  "The curse causeless shall not come" (Proverbs 26:2).  "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law" (Galatians 3:13). 

The congregation of the cursed

Still mocks God's Word without regard

To fearful warnings of the worst

That judgment holds for hearts so hard. 

How fearful is this introduction

To those who yet continue scorning

Without concern for the destruction

 Of those who will dismiss God's warning! 

By all means, God is saving some

Who from His wrath will turn and flee. 

The curse that's causeless shall not come

To those in Christ eternally. 

O Lord, we've seen this congregation,

For this is where we all begin, 

But You were cursed for our salvation

To be our Hiding Place from sin!
