Hollow vs. Holy

"This people draw near to Me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor Me, but have removed their heart far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the precept of men" (Isaiah 29:13).

May God forbid that I draw near
With a hollow, heartless word!
May God forbid a shallow fear
Through mere precepts I have heard!

But rather let my love be true
With a heartfelt gratitude.
May I, Lord, draw near to You
With a holy attitude.
