Worship with Warning
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Oh come and sing to the Lord,
A joyful noise for salvation;
Show Him that He’s loved and adored,
As the Father of creation.
In His presence with thanksgiving,
A joyful noise with songs of praise;
Thanking Him for our living,
Praising Him throughout our days.
Because the Lord is a great God,
And a great King whose above all;
The reason we honor and laud,
And who will answer our call.
In His hand are depths of the earth,
Also are the height of mountains;
He made the seas a priceless worth,
Formed dry land quenched by the fountains.
Oh let us bow down and worship,
Let us kneel down before the Lord;
Lie down in His pasture like sheep,
Not letting His voice be ignored.
Soften hearts from provocation,
When traveling the wilderness;
To avoid any temptation,
That could be causing bitterness.
Your fathers put God to the test,
For they wanted to see the proof;
He loathed since they never confessed,
And never listened to the truth.
They were people who went astray,
Not knowing His path was the best;
So because they did disobey,
They shall never enter His rest.
