Paul has nailed me, God--
my heart is hard and impenitent.
I must be storing up wrath for myself.
So while the meat is still between my teeth,
before I can consume it, will the plague strike?
After all, you do love righteousness and justice;
and there is little in me of either right now.
The earth is full of your steadfast love.
Make my heart a little child's.
my heart is hard and impenitent.
I must be storing up wrath for myself.
So while the meat is still between my teeth,
before I can consume it, will the plague strike?
After all, you do love righteousness and justice;
and there is little in me of either right now.
The earth is full of your steadfast love.
Make my heart a little child's.
