Confessing my heart’s foolishness
midst selfish ambition of whim’s futility
my soul begs for God’s pardon with His guidance.
Admitting my conceited arrogance
springing from heart’s hypocrisy
I’m humbled by the Lord’s exemplified meekness.
Submitting to the Creator my heart’s carnal reign
my spirit abides in His perfect will, molding me earnestly
toward virtuous transformation.
Surrendering my vested interests
of temporal wealth my foolish heart seeks to gain
I cleave to the Saviour for His favour.
Recognizing my heart, verily deceitful*
against Scriptures’ immutable truth
faith seeks Christ’s wisdom for peaceful bliss.
*Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
