Found Out

“Behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out” (Numbers 32:23).

“Be sure your sin will find you out,”

My mother used to talk about

The sowing and the reaping too,

And how God knows each act we do;

Impressed upon me in my youth,

I’m thankful for her faith and truth.

I never have forgotten quite,

That secret sins are brought to light;

We get away with nothing now — 

Be careful what you do allow:

The day will come, accounts be given,

When we see Jesus Christ in heaven.

“Be sure your sin will find you out,”

I’m glad my mother talked about!
