FAITH

Who can deny God's judgment
When societies spin, askew?
Everything we thought we had,

And what we thought we knew--

Such arrogant assumptions!
Such selfishness, and pride!
Only those who love the truth
Will not bow down to lies.

The world will split-- oh, judgement then--
But the righteous need not fear;
The sky will tear from end to end--
Redemption drawing near!

Hope whispers in the darkness;
As the storm our faith perfects,
The truth of Jesus will prevail,
And all the world confess.

Then, why fear the scourge of evil
So soon to be purged away?
Rather, rend my heart on trembling knee,
Before the vengeance of that Day.

Father, teach of mercy,
For guilt despairs it's need.
Lend us strength to follow you--
Oh, help our unbelief!

The world rages but for a moment
'Til it's delusive towers fall down,
Then the throngs of heaven will exult in praise
For the holy Promise, shown.
