ONCE THEY BELIEVED

Once they were convinced,

Believed what God said,

Believed the Bible,

Believed what they read.

 

How has it happened?

(This change that I see)

Has God Himself changed?

Oh!  How can that be?

 

Or did some wild wish,

Or did a little desire,

Burning quietly

Kindle this big fire?

 

His Word is eternal

He said, “I change not.” [1]

Yet folks are not doing

As they should, as they ought.
