The Debt Crisis

This debt crisis they postpone And due dates will vary It may come with no warning Stalking the unwary "Ban hate!", "Ban hate!", they holler Their war is not with sin God's Word is the enemy The truth they have to spin They say they're not for profit Still, they pad their wages Deception and trickery Mask them as great sages Not in the Lord's inner ring Still, they claim His favors "Love makes sin acceptable." This lie enriches slavers They cheer those who are sinners Their "change" produces cracks Their "love" lacks morality They like to get kickbacks Though a debtor to His Word They put it out of mind Their lives become more absurd Their character maligned There's no ceiling on this debt The payment will come due It cannot be written off Excuses won't rescue "My war is always with sin- Sin that ruins within. The sinner can never win- Debtors' death a shoo-in." So what, pray tell, should they do? Turn back from apostasy The devil holds them there He's a debtor just like them His lies they should beware Ask God for minds, ears, and eyes That grasp the truth of things That "aha" moment they'll see The "Light of the World" brings See, Jesus paid the sin debt He sets the captives free His blood was shed for many He rose to guarantee From a debt they cannot pay To forgiveness - and more Their hope has been set free And treasure is in store
