Destiny

Don’t envy the arrogant Or the prosperity of the wicked; Without struggles, healthy and strong, But their lives are not sacred. For pride is their necklace; Their hearts are callous; They scoff and speak in arrogance With strains of uncalled for malice. Their mouths lay claim to heaven— They are carefree, But when I entered the sanctuary, I understood their destiny. Destroyed, swept away in terror, Their end will not be sweet. Stay close instead to your Lord Where you’ll find sin’s sweet defeat. The Sovereign Lord’s my refuge; His commands I adore; I’ll stay by His side And keep my heart pure! For the end of the arrogant Is not a pleasant sight. I’d rather see the glory Of our dear Lord so radiantly bright. Who have I in heaven But my Creator. Earth has nothing to desire Greater than my Mediator. Those far from Him will perish Be completely swept away; Suddenly destroyed; Failed to seek God’s saving way.
