THE ANGER OF THE LORD

The love and mercy of the Lord, we understand;

We see much evidence of His gracious hand.

He desires to bless and to give His protection;

We have a great God of deepest affection.

 

There is also the Lord’s anger to comprehend;

Sadly, many do not fully appreciate God’s plan.

The anger of the Lord will serve us well, truly;

We learn how to live for the Lord uprightly.

 

The anger of the Lord was recorded carefully;

The Scriptures noted His judgements wisely.

God is not whimsical when it comes to anger;

There is always a reason behind each feature.

 

Personal sins will cause us to go astray;

These must be dealt with each day.

Sins are best confessed candidly;

The Lord will give mercy accordingly.
