Responsibility

2 Corinthians 5:11 

 

11 Because we understand our fearful responsibility to The Lord, 

we work hard to persuade others. God knows we are sincere, 

and I hope you know this, too.

 

Accountability                      

 

Since God knows all about me.

He never comes to examine.

He can judge as the moments flee

Eventhough the Cross hides me.

 

The cry of the poor always before Him

As the plea of the needy He hears.

Constantly these conditions appall Him.

As unbelief snickers without fear.

 

The patience of God between now and judgment

For reasons  I don't understand,

Make one thing for sure … that the needy helpless

Will lay in the balance at the end.

 

Does your sin only affect man and not God?

Did not He give His Life for you?

So that in one-ness through the Savior

reasonable service in love will do.
