The Sin of Sodom
So many are so quick to blame the Sodomites of old
For reaping their destruction for their evil we are told
Their evil and iniquity we little see today
But has become apparent is most surely on its way
The evil sexuality where men would lie with men
Where people in despondency to good would let them in
Through means of entertainment to destroy the moral plan
That God at our creation had in mind in store for man
But all of this corruption for which God did make them pay
When fire rained from heaven on that great and dreadful day
Did not just quickly happen at the blinking of an eye
But was the subtle working of the one who too will die
When fire rains from heaven once again to cleanse the earth
Corrupted by the evil we've imagined from our birth
The evil he implanted in unguarded hearts of men
Who sought to find the pleasure that would come to them in sin
That pleasure that is fleeting that leaves hollowness behind
Encouraging more evil that we hope that we can find
To fill that void that's empty in the path that we did choose
Where no one is the winner and the sinners always lose
To him they choose to follow when they turn the Lord away
For when we turn from righteousness there is no other way
Than that that leads to Sodom and the end that it received
That fell on those who turned away the message Lot believed
And now today we're standing in a time that's been far spent
As very few will listen to the message that is sent
From heaven's throne in warning through the pages of God's Word
For those who are attentive to what's needing to be heard
That all the pride and vanity all selfishness and sin
Is soon to be clean wiped away with those who enter in
Agreement with the devil and the father of all lies
Who said from the beginning that the sinner never dies
And only those who listen and apply God's love each day
Through love in their obedience to what He has to say
Will be the ones rewarded with eternal life brand new
Because they know the Saviour and pursue what He would do
Genesis 19:1-26; Ezekiel 16:48-49; Jude 1:3-7
