Lord, be exalted & praised Archives - Page 2 of 6

Are You a Fool?

The fool says in his heart
There is no God
Who declares them corrupt
Abominable… none does good?

Though we know not the day
Nor hour He will come
God’s Word never fails
We shall soon, see His Son.

The fear of the LORD
Is the beginning of wisdom
But fools, despise God
His rule, and His kingdom.

And put on the new man
Created according to God
In true righteousness and holiness
In His fullness, now daily trod.

Are we humble and lowly
Or proud, self-serving
Are exalting ourself
Or submissive, subserving?

Are so weary of self
All the efforts you make
Self-reliance, self-ambitions
All fleshly, vain mistakes.

Life’s not a cruise-ship, but a battleship
We’re not observers, but partakers
And not passive, but active
Bear God’s armor, no abstainers!

Know if trusting, believing
The gospel of Jesus’ salvation
By the pledge, of His Spirit
We are sealed, His new creation!

Let my cry come
Before You, O LORD
Give me understanding
According to Your Word.

For I rejoice at Your word
As one finding, great treasure.
I hate, and abhor lying
But love Your law, my greatest pleasure.
