“Isaiah 5:20 King James Version 20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” God is not the author of confusion His grace His mercy not an illusion He is the rock upon solid ground Where one who is lost can be found Beware of the world and it’s slippery slopes False gods like fast cars offering spiritual dope That feels good to the flesh yet neglects soul I’d rather have Jesus than silver and gold Fear God almighty that you live right That you do good deeds in this life No trickery putting bitter for sweet What’s done in dark all will someday see Woe to them calling evil good and good evil Wages of sin are death like times mid evil For man shall not live by bread alone But by word of God who sits on throne
