Remember Lot's Wife - Don't Look Back

But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Genesis 19:26

 Remember Lot’s Wife Don't Look Back

Was she a righteous woman...
Who stood in the shadow of her man...
Is there but ten who will follow
The God of Abraham....

Green pastures rich and flourishing
Peace and rest is found...
But in the sinful city her heart was hardened and bound...

Angels came to deliver them...
But she; apprehensive to leave,
For this was her life
This is all that she believed...

Come away from here make haste;
This place is destined for fire...
Take your family; flee…

Death is emanate; have no desire
To stay within this place
Judgment has come
There will be no saving grace...

Taking flight they hurry
Running through the night...
But the woman full of regret
Leaving all behind, memories of her past
Turns not heeding will this be her last…

Shutting out God’s word His messengers she spurned
Wanting her country, wanting only to return…
“Do not look back.” This was God’s command…

Just one look, that's all it took...
Her breath and life in that moment, forsook
As she turns to take one final look...

A Pillar of salt now stands…

Stone cold, lifeless...
Death from disobedience…
Oh, please, learn this lesson from the Holy Book...

Remember Lot’s wife, you women of worth…
Looking back only turns to regret and hurt…
Put away your idols, your past is gone…never look back…
Keep forging on...

Live in the now...
Heart rich and free…
For God has given His love to thee!
When he says go…don’t look back, just flee!
