Does
God wish me, who wanders from His will
Following
the inclinations of my pleasure
Within
His presence? Does He wish to fill
His
great eternal home with doubtful treasure
Such
as I am? Can He find pleasure in
Unstable,
weak, and self-regarding souls
Ensconced
in lust and garrisoned by sin
Within
whose life a selfish mind controls?
He,
as a just and holy God, cannot
Tolerate
sin - how can He wish for me,
The
sinner? If, as sinful, I am brought
Before
Him judgement must be His decree:
Yet
such the grace of God that I am won
Into
His presence, righteous in His Son.
I am thankful for His grace.
