THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH
We live in a troubled world where evil seems to prevail;
The wicked prosper and the poor they continue to assail.
God is not in their thoughts, nor do they fear Him;
They grow deeper and deeper into their life of sin.
The powerful wicked appear to be above the law;
They seem to be mighty and their plots are without a flaw.
No one seems to be able to stem the tide of wickedness;
The poor, the humble, even the godly feel so helpless!
God seems far away, and His presence is not manifest;
He seems to have hidden Himself and appears powerless.
He has not done anything against the wicked at all;
He does not seem to answer when the oppressed call.
Faith is needed in the tough circumstances of life;
Maturity helps us recognize that sin can be rife.
But the Just must continue to exercise faith in God;
He must trust that Power still belongs to the LORD!
