A
crushing weight,
the
truth of my failing,
washing
over me
when
I sin, when I rebel,
whenever
I reject the word of God
Turning
from His path,
the
course for my life,
spitting
on my Savior’s face
as
if driving in the nails
Mired
in my clay,
following
my own path,
turning
from His grace
what
tears there must be
on
my Savior’s face
