Why is my heart so wicked?
Choosing daily passionate lusts of the flesh.
I feel more sorry lying to my fellow men than to You, o God most high.
My prayers are dishonest. Trying to make a bargain with you, trying to belittle my sin.
Have I fallen so far from You, that Christ needs to be twice crucified?
May it not be so! For I would be a man to be pitied above all man, forever doomed with no hope of salvation.
So have mercy on me my Lord, will you still forgive me and let me abide?
Let me crawl back to the cross, as a hungry beggar in need of the bread of life.
For in this walk there is no trying. Only abiding in You, my truth, my way, my life.
