It’s a good thing,
to have Godly fear
trembling is fine . . .
for it keeps God near.
Fear produces hatred,
of self-righteousness
it will help us to see
our own piousness.
Fear fills us with disgust,
for the evil things we do
it shows us what’s wrong
with the things we pursue.
Fear keeps our tongues,
from being perverted
blasphemy from our lips
it’ll keep from being blurted.
Fear keeps our hearts,
from turning rebellious
it will help us to take
God’s hate for sin serious.
It’s a good thing,
to keep God near
trembling is fine . . .
for sin we should fear!

“The fear of the Lord is to hate evil:
pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way,
and the froward mouth, do I hate.
