The Lord looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one. (Psalm 14:2-3; NIV).
1. This plague is not a punishment
For every selfish deed;
2. Instead, it is the consequence
Of all our careless greed.
3. This plague is not a penalty
For every foolish choice;
4. Instead, it is our reckoning,
For we’ve ignored God’s voice.
