With skilful hands
and crafty wit
man forms all kinds of idols
melts silver and gold
pursues his own thoughts
wilfully forsaking the only true
Fountain of Life-giving Water...

Despite God’s flowing springs
and green oases
he dies of thirst
and his childish stubbornness
results in eternal death...

On that Great Day
he will clearly see
how these human efforts
have all been in vain
How his works have disappeared
like morning mist

Then he will stand in awe
because his sins
had been harvested
and stored away
for God’s just punishment...

O man
hear Jesus plead today
Return to God your Maker
Be reconciled to Him
through the Blood of Jesus Christ!
