Wilderness: A Third Warning (6:4-8)

As Israel wandered through the wilderness You might wander through the wilderness As Israel wandered through the wilderness You might wander through the wilderness of life In the case of those whose minds have been lit Who have tasted and wasted the heavenly gift Who have shared in the Spirit Who have shaken and stirred Who have savored the flavors Of the goodness of the Word of God And the powers that come one day Yet from grace they have fallen away You cannot restore them, they will not repent They will not cry mercy, they will not relent For the Son they have placed on the cross again And are holding the Christ in contempt Like the land that has drunk Of the rain from the Lord And is blessed for the crop That the earth brings forth Are the ones who endure, are the ones who persist Are the ones who remain in the faith But if you neglect what you've heard And the truth you've confessed And abandon the faith And you live for the flesh You cannot expect that the Father will bless you For your thistles and thorns B warned, be warned Pay attention to what you've heard Don't drift away from the Word
