Isaiah 55:7-9

• [Isa 55:7] Sinners, The Voice Of God Regard

  Sinners, the voice of God regard; ’Tis mercy speaks today; He calls you by His sacred Word From sin’s destructive way. Like the rough sea that cannot rest, You live devoid of peace; A thousand stings within your breast Deprive your souls of ease. Your way is dark, and leads to hell; Why will you persevere? Can you in endless torments dwell, Shut up in black despair? Why will you in the crooked ways Of sin and folly go? In pain you travel all your days, To reap eternal woe. But he that turns to God shall live Through His abounding grace: His mercy will the guilt forgive Of those that seek His face. Bow to the scepter of His Word, Renouncing every sin, Submit to Him, your sovereign Lord, And learn His will divine. His love exceeds your highest thoughts, He pardons like a God; He will forgive your numerous faults, Through a Redeemer’s blood.

  Oh come to the Savior, believe in His Name, And ask Him your heart to renew; He waits to be gracious, O turn not away, For now there is pardon for you. Refrain Yes, there is pardon for you, Yes, there is pardon for you; For Jesus has died to redeem you, And offers full pardon to you. The way of transgression that leads unto death, Oh, why will you longer pursue? How can you reject the sweet message of love That offers full pardon for you? Refrain Be warned of your danger; escape to the cross; Your only salvation is there; Believe, and that moment the Spirit of grace Will answer your penitent prayer. Refrain

• [Isa 55:8] The Two Views

  To man, it seemed that Evil had prevailed, That His fair life had altogether failed, And naught was left but what the Cross impaled— But God saw otherwise! They would have hailed Him King, and with acclaim, Upon the wings of His far reaching fame, Have swept the land like a devouring flame; But God saw otherwise! It seemed as though His life had gone for naught— Nothing to show for that long battle fought, But a pale prisoner to the gibbet brought— But God saw otherwise! No lasting good seemed ever like to come Of all His sowing—neither fruit nor bloom, Instead—a felon’s cross, an alien tomb— But God saw otherwise! We, too, at times, come nigh to lose our hope, When with life’s evils we no more can cope, And in the dark with heavy hearts we grope; But God saw otherwise!
