To God I Wish, To God I May

To God I wish, to God I may, 
These thoughts that cause innard decay!
Though born these sins already say 
The word who rules my every day.
My scorn this hour is high as hills!
Forlorn I lie, bear faulty wills. 

To God I wish, to God I ask 
Take flesh of dirt and make it grass! 
The worm it crawls inside my bones, 
My sinews, joints, my skin and Oh! 

Not for despair I cry this grief, alone
With me to enjoy the brink 
Of lusts. It is salt in my mouth and satan's rod. 
But- He who makes my soul depart,
To love with peace and joy of heart 
Will keep the promise through and through. 
Why do I mourn? The day is new.
