The Wages of Evil

 

The Lord has called us to forsake
A life of sin and strife,
But He has also let us choose
The path we’ll walk in life.
 
The price of sin, eternal death,
Is often grimly paid.
Yet, He grieves for each wayward soul,
Who chose sin, and then stayed.
 
The darkness comes for all of us,
But light follows the dark
For all who know and call Him Lord.
He’s the eternal spark.
 
For those who choose a sin filled life,
And turn from His clear path,
There is one answer, grim and hard;
They’ll, one day, know His wrath.
 
The evil that fills heart and mind
Will kill both, ruthlessly.
The darker the path they have walked
The harder death will be.
 
Turn back from darkness, do not heed
Evil’s seductive call.
Redemption’s price, already paid,
Is there for one and all.
 
Don’t let the evil of this world
Be all you speak and do,
Or you will find death, when it comes,
Holds even worse for you.
 
Ezekiel 18:23
Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign Lord. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live?
 
Proverbs 10:16
The wages of the righteous is life, but the earnings of the wicked are sin and death.
