My God! Against You only, have I sinned!
Having sown the wind, and reaped the whirlwind.
Who knows his heart, except it be exposed?
Browsing through Your Living Word, I have closed
My eyes, refusing to transact with You,
Not knowing what it means to be a Jew!
Wicked and deceitful above all things,
Born in iniquity and sin, there clings
To me a covert disposition bred
Before my birth in heart and soul and head.
I was conceived dead in my mother’s womb,
Born separate from You, from cot to tomb.
Without Your grace, a son I could not be
Had you not sent Your Son to die for me.
