Which Is Worse?

"There is no God", says the foolish heart,
But is he less a fool
Who says, "I know there is a God,
But my life he'll never rule!?"

"God is dead." says another fool
But how foolish is the heart
Who says, "He lives and controls the universe,
But in my life he has no part!"?

How easy to condemn the one
Who says, "The Bible is a lie."
But what about the one who says,
"Oh, I believe,~ and I'll serve him by and by!"?

If one calls Christ 'impostor',
And another says, 'He's not!',
Yet neither will accept him
Will the one find hell less hot?

Or, if a man says, "I'm saved and love him."
Yet never will obey,
Will he find real peace and happiness
each step along the way?

God is real, He ever lives!
His Word is wholly true,
Let his Son, the living Christ come in,
Let His will be done in you!
