Mischief Framed By Law
By George Thurlow The workers of iniquity Frame mischief by a law,1 And spread their deadly poison With the flap of their jaws. Like servants riding horses And princes walking round...2 Evil is waxing greater For all is upside down. Declaring light is darkness And calling darkness light... Goodness now is evil And evil now is right.3 Fulfilling Bible prophecy By the stroke of a pen, Accentuating the depravity Of all wicked men. Nothing is restrained that They imagine now to do; As in the day of Noah Judgment is coming too. 4 Sin demands a deadly price; It reaps its own reward.5 Repentance is required. There's mercy with the Lord. Will God's Word be outlawed? Can the Almighty now be sued? Is it now a hate crime To preach the Gospel truth? Could a pompous court judge Arrest the Heavenly King, Lock the door on all His churches, Make the church bells cease to ring? Will it be illegal To have another view? Will the secret thought police Come sneaking up on you? Perilous days were predicted And surely they've arrived, With a form of godliness But the true power is denied.6 1. Psalm 94:20 "Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?". 2. Ecclesiastes 10:7 "I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth."
3. Isaiah 5:20 "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"
4. Genesis 11:6 "...now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do." 5.Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." 6. 2 Timothy 3:1-7 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. |
