So, Listen!
So, listen with faith
Trusting God cannot fail
For in wisdom and love
He will always prevail.
Weeping and Gnashing
Tho’ many called, few are chosen
The self-righteous, are cast out
Into outer darkness
All the unclean, not allowed.
Don’t Rebel Against God
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.

LORD, look and consider
My affliction, and deliver me

Concerning Your testimonies
I have known, of old

Yet Your commands, are my delight
Everlasting, Your righteous testimonies
Bring understanding, and revive.

Therefore, my soul keeps them
The opening of Your Word
Giving light to all, amen!
