The poem by Pastor Linscott read at the conclusion-

How can we stand against God our Creator;
Or who can endure the strong arm of His rage?
The weight of His anger rests heavy upon us
Crushing us under the guilt of sin’s wage.

How holy the standard He has established;
The measure that no man can hope to achieve.
For all men have sinned; come short of His glory
And on his own merits can gain no reprieve.

Oh! Hear the desperate cry of Your people.
A call for Your mercy to spare us, we pray.
We all do require the atonement of Jesus
Our High Priest in Heaven- your pity display.

The poem written by Pastor Linscott at the conclusion of this message:

Mankind denies his origin.
He mocks Your Holy Name.
The evidence of Your design
Seems but an “empty claim.”

The actions, thoughts, and words of man
Are selfish, vile, and cruel.
No place for truth; no absolutes;
He’s pleased to be a fool.

The path embarked on by their sort
Seems right and paved with ease.
Its destination overlooked
While their own flesh they please.

That path, however, leads to death,
And all must face that day.
Their gods destroyed, Your wrath unleashed,
Your glory on display.

Have mercy, Lord! Our only hope
Is found in Christ, the Way.
Forgive our sins; direct our steps-
That we your truth obey.
