Invention vs. Integrity

"Exalt ye the Lord our God, and worship at His footstool, for He is holy.... Thou was a God that forgavest them, though Thou tookest vengeance of their inventions" (Psalm 99:8). "The integrity of the upright shall guide them" (Proverbs 11:3). "One thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.... Herein is a marvelous thing, that ye know not from whence He is, and yet He hath opened mine eyes.... If this Man were not of God, He could do nothing.... And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshiped Him" (John 9:25-38).

How marvelous a thing we see,
That man with his inventions
Is blind without integrity,
In spite of best intentions.

Inventions of religious minds
Can never be our guide.
Religion only further blinds
And turns our hearts aside.

God is giving full attention
To those with integrity.
Cast away your vain invention,
And His truth shall make you free.
