No Anchor For Rancour

Rancour is a canker That eats us from within Bitterness and anger* Are sure to cause chagrin Malice is a chalice From which we should not drink It will turn us callous With hearts tuned out of sync Hanker not for rancour Let love rule our mind tunes Forgiveness, the anchor In life's wildest typhoons Hope is the strongest rope Sure and steadfast anchor** In dark sin, need not grope Rid our soul of rancour Jesus Christ sure frees us From rancour's canker clutch Tenderly, He sees us And heals us with blood touch *Ephesians 4:31-32 [31]Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: [32]And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. **Hebrews 6:19-20 [19]Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; [20]Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
