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
