Even
then, in the midst of my sin,
away
from the congregation, the body
God
there with me still
God’s
Spirit crying; Don’t!
Be
faithful, turn from your sin
there
when I refuse to heed your words
going
my own way, selfish -
mindful,
aware that I am wrong;
wallowing
in my sin
Yet
I still choose to disobey
to
turn from my Master
Freedom
run amuck
no
boundaries, bad choices
lost
in excess, my sin;
Disobeying
my Savior
who
died on the cross -
as
if driving another nail;
Spitting
in his face
