Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. [Mark 7:9]

REJECTED

Rejected!  For what?  For taking a stand
On the pure Word of God, not the opinion of man!
Rejected!  By whom?  Certainly not by the Lord,
But by men who believe not what He says in His Word!

Rejected!  Praise God!  His wonders proclaim!
What a glorious privilege to be shunned for His Name!
Rejected!  Speak boldly, as the prophets of old
Who suffered that God's message to the world might be told.

Rejected - by the many, but not by the few
Who honour God's Word and stand on it, too.
Rejected for telling it just like it is,
Straight from God's Word in the words that are His.
