Done with Dust

"My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken Thou me according to Thy word.... Remove from me the way of lying, and grant me Thy law graciously.... I will run the way of Thy commandments, when Thou shalt enlarge my heart" (Psalm 119:25,29,32).

My soul is weary of the dust
Of things to which it cleaves.
I would be done with earthly lust
That hinders and deceives.

Lord, grant me Your law graciously,
And thus enlarge my heart
To run the way You show to me,
And from this dust depart.
