Against His Foe


O God, do not keep silence;
do not hold your peace or be still, O God!
For behold, your enemies make an uproar;
those who hate you have raised their heads.
Psalm 83:1-2

There are people
Who defy God
They make outrageous claims
Against God
They will deny
There is a God
Loudly they raise
Their clamor
Vainly they praise
Their own sense of valor

God is not silent
Against His foe

I am a sinner
Who defies God
My will can rage
Against God
Practical denial
Of God
I too will rage
In swagger
And proudly praise
Self in godless manner

God is not silent
Against His foe

On Calvary
My sins borne by God
My selfish claims
Pitted me against God
Jesus took them as
My Lamb of God
Loudly they raised
His cross
So He could pay
Sin’s cost

God is not silent
Against His foe
