Aha, Aha, Amen

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Jer.17:9

The heart, the heart of man

Is wicked to the core

We ought, we ought; all that we can

To read God’s scriptures more

The love, the love of God

Never betrays our trust

We should, we should humbly applaud

His compassion for us

The hope, the hope we have

Is found in Him alone

How cold, how cold the hostile grave

‘Neath unbeliever’s stone

Prepare, prepare with awe

For that from which none flee

The righteousness of Holy God

And Immortality

The way, the way we end

Depends Wholly on this;

Believe, believe, my soulmate, friend

In He who ever IS

It is IMPOSSIBLE not to realize it again and again,
as we turn from the graveyard filled with the dead
 back to the land of the 'still dying',
 how deceitful, wicked and worldly, when left to its own vices,
the heart is!
Let's face it; God's grace is our only, utter hope!
