The Lord Your God
What a privilege to have a personal relationship with God!
Imagine the wonder of being able to call upon the Lord!
Yet, sadly, this privilege is taken for granted and set aside,
Life without God seems normal, as on the road of life we stride.
The history of ancient Israel has many lessons for us today,
This was a nation which had forsaken God along the way.
The blessings that God had given were all but forgotten,
The Lord their God, they had wickedly forsaken!
Great plans for the children of Israel were in store,
But these fell apart when God, they began to ignore.
The glorious promises of God fell on hardened hearts,
The wicked nation from their Lord had grown apart!
The prophets prayed, preached and shed many a tear,
Their efforts were in vain, and great was their fear.
A nation that had forsaken their faithful Lord,
Would reap the righteous and holy wrath of God.
The danger that faces the church at large today,
Is one that is so real, it should make us feel dismay!
The danger of walking in unbelief and forsaking God,
Is so very surreal, it is like playing a broken record!
