Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord So also is a lying tongue Having either of these is wrong For so it is written in the holy book Baffled was I then by this matter The ancients with their lips the Holy One did flatter Hypocrites making vows and promises that were insincere And the deserving punishment the Holy One did spare He went ahead and heard their prayers Lavishing upon them their heart’s desires Knowing well they were stubborn and headstrong And had no intention of repenting from their wrong Surely the Holy One knew man’s lips did lie It was because of trouble to him they cry Did ever the Gods listen to man based on his own goodness And not according to his and his sons righteousness Shall the Most High man’s obedience gain By inflicting and afflicting him with hardship and pain Would he not rather have man the will of God understand By lovingly and faithfully following his command In the matter pertaining to man’s salvation God have already provided the propitiation Who shall tell if the Most High will not start the believing process In those who though insincere with their mouth Jesus confess Never forget the power of the words you say By them you shall be judged one day Seeing it is good that which a man may ask Cannot God grants it in his own goodness to bask Shall the Most high be confined to mans dimension He who is master of a universe beyond man’s comprehension Surely he is the God of boundless mercy and grace Having a love beyond understanding for Adam’s fallen race

About this poem:
One of those baffling question was asked "If a man asked Jesus for salvation but was not sincere is he saved?" I wrote this as I meditated on the question. I thought to file it with others that I did not share but then someone out there may have an insight into this question to share with me.
