Broken, Humble and Repentent - Proverbs 15: 8
All persons have sinful hearts
ever since this world one day
fallen mankind had no answer to this
no matter the miles they have ran
But God has provided a remedy
for only a perfect sacrifice will do
to remove sin and produce righteousness
His only son Jesus Christ will be true
This sacrifice God accepts for sinners
when they are accompanied by three traits
they must be broken with no hope
in themselves so desperately in wait
They realise only the eternal one is sufficient
to piece them together in God's shape
but being humble is also really key
bringing a repentant spirit up your spiritual tree
So God brings through Jesus His son
His way of salvation open to all
just needs to be broken, humble, and repent
for God to speak and you hear His call
("The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
but the prayer of the upright is acceptable to him."
Proverbs 15: 8 (ESV)
Quote:
" A person who's been sinful during the week can be accepted through the sacrifice when it's accompanied by a broken, humble, repentant heart."
- John Piper)
