Forsaken By God - 2 Chronicles 7: 14,21-22
This world that we live in today
has changed from generations past
our grandparents wouldn’t know it
if they could come back they’d be aghast
What has happened to make it so?
God has been forsaken by His creation
they do what they want anything goes
this is all so clear by any observation
So now God’s judgement prevails
His truth isn’t accepted as the way
every other faith is given freedom
as God’s people can’t have their say
God’s final day of reckoning
is certain and it will surely appear
they’ll be no hiding from Him then
nothing will save them not a tear!
So as man now forsakes God
God on that final day forsakes man
all their atheism and materialism
then blown way will be their plan
('if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.' 2 Chronicles ch. 7 v.14 (ESV)
'And at this house, which was exalted, everyone passing by will be astonished and say, ‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land and to this house?’ Then they will say, ‘Because they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods and worshiped them and served them. Therefore he has brought all this disaster on them.’”. 2 Chronicles ch.7 vs 21,22 (ESV))
