Do not forsake God Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Will You Answer God?

O how selfish, and sinful
We keep God’s Word within
Are not praying and sharing
With our world, so full of sin.

So, listen with faith
Trusting God cannot fail
For in wisdom and love
He will always prevail.

Tho’ many called, few are chosen
The self-righteous, are cast out
Into outer darkness
All the unclean, not allowed.

So we’re self-willed, self-reliant
Self-righteous, we blindly stray
Are defiant, independent
We want the last say.

He shall be like a tree
Planted by rivers of water
Brings forth fruit, in its season
Whose leaf shall not wither.

Let my heart be blameless
Regarding Your statutes
That I may not be ashamed
Live a life with sound roots.

You’ve dealt well, with Your servant
LORD, in accord with Your Word
Teach me good judgment
And knowledge, conferred.

So, teach me Your statutes
Your ordinances, to obey
Your decrees and Your laws
May I hearken, and not stray.

For the wicked, that forsake
Your laws, O LORD
Your statutes, have been my songs
In my dwelling place, am restored.

And I will walk in freedom
Because Your precepts, I seek
Will tell all, of Your testimonies
Before kings witness, I freely speak.
