The Balance
So many fear what is to be they fear what's soon to come
Assuming from the little read that all is like the sum
They've been taught of the future when the judgment will be sealed
And every cataclysmic act of God will be revealed
They focus on what's coming from the standpoint of a toll
Extracted as a vengeance for the evils of their soul
A time of hailing brimstone with a fire that never ends
No way to have a sure defense no comfort from their friends
And sure there will be judgment as the scriptures are quite clear
And what has been will not be too much longer lasting here
The debts of sin's rebellion will at last be fully paid
When all this world is cleansed by fire before the new earth's made
But though it's all important we must be fully aware
Of God's impending judgments of which most are unaware
We need far more to focus on the rest of what is said
That's there for our assurance we need not be lost and dead
For in the whole of scriptures there's a balance many miss
A balance with the focus that we need in times like this
That teaches of the great reward for those who find God's peace
Through intimate disclosure in our times of full release
When kneeling there before Him Who hung all the stars in space
Who made the earth the sun the moon and put them in their place
Who lovingly formed Adam from a little bit of clay
And breathed in him the breath of life we cherish to this day
And then gave them the promise who rebelled against His love
Who ate the fruit and brought the curse He sadly told them of
That if they would be faithful to apply the blood they shed
Their soul would have the promise not to be forever dead
But will be wrapped in splendor when our Saviour comes again
Will have with Him forever where no sin will cause a stain
That pure spotless garment of the host of God's redeemed
Who daily in their short time here did not their fear esteem
But joy that comes from knowing that God's path for them is sure
And every pain and suffering here they will not again endure
Just endless days of wonder at the glories they will see
As with our Lord and Saviour one forever we will be
