How long shall I falter and waive in my faith?; (1 Kings 18: 21)

And ignore such great promise beyond the pearly gate? (Revelation 21: 21)

Shall I return to my wallowing in the mire of lust and appetite; (2 Peter 2: 22)

And yearn for what is wrong and call it right? (Isaiah 5: 20)

Though ‘tis my transgressions that pierce his side, (Isaiah 53: 5)

Yet still did I ignore his loving guide. (Jeremiah 6: 16)

Shall I not fear that it displeases him (Hebrews 10: 38)

that I draw back, with conscience gone dim? (Hebrews 10: 38)

Such pain to know it’s my sins that did cause his strife. (Isaiah 53: 5)

Do end my agony and ban it now and ever more in my life! (John 8: 11)

With all my heart, to him my life do I now commit; (Romans 12: 1)

For I am tired of returning to my own Vomit!!! (2 Peter 2: 22)
