I've often heard it said,
'What we were when young, is what we'll be when we're old.'
Only the Lord knows our end from our beginning,
(1)
And the many He has willed to bring into His fold.
(2)Those who put on the
"newness" that Christ preached,
(3)
By the grace of God have their sins forgiven,
(4)
No longer mindful of so many sins past,
To gain His favour their spirits are happily given.
But if our spirit dispositions were changeless,
Mankind would be left with no future hope at all,
We would all die in our age-old Godless sins,
Like Adam, we would all forever fall.
So with a waiting attitude until our hope is
realized,
(5)
That of a cleansed "new heavens" and a
"new earth",
(6)
After all unclean spirits and humans are abyssed,
God will bring His Kingdom to an authoritative birth.
(7)
The uncreated spirit of Adam failed in
its formation,
(In its everlasting part, the creation of his spirit),
King
Solomon also failed his spirit's completion,
Listening to women's demons and obeying them.
(8)
What more can be said of the
Godless majority,
To arrogant changeless ones, living lives without meaning?
This: Now that the "good news" through faith has ended,
(9)
Give fearful glory to God, or be broken
without healing.
