Evil slays the wicked
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
Evil slays the wicked.
Haven't you heard?
They bring it on their own heads
It's Written in His Word.
The slayer slays himself;
How absurd.
His ways are not our ways;
He is higher than the earth.
His thoughts are not our thoughts how can we know our worth?
He exalts the humble,
Puts the proud in their place.
But to the wicked...
They have sealed their own fate.
