When I refuse to heed your words – v13

Even then, in the midst of my sin,
away from the congregation,
the body of Christ
God is there with me still

His Spirit calling, don’t!
be faithful, turn from your sin
when I refuse to heed your words
going my own way, selfish

Even when I am mindful,
aware that I am wrong
yet choosing to disobey
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
but God loves me still
in mercy and grace
