Light for the Lost

Read:  Psalm 147 / Proverbs 13 / 2 Kings 21 / 2 Cor. 4

Psalm 147:3-5 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. 
Proverbs 13:7-8 There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches. The ransom of a man's life are his riches. 
2 Kings 21:3 [Mansseh] worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4 If our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

The Lord who put the stars in space
And gave to each of them a name
Has shined with heaven's truth and grace
Which, through the Gospel, we proclaim. 

How strangely are the lost inclined
To turn from light that shines from Christ!
By choice they have been rendered blind
Through lies whereby they are enticed.
