Inclination Included

"I have inclined mine heart to perform Thy statutes always, even unto the end" (Psalm 119:112). "But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire" (2 Peter 2:22).

How wonderful is our salvation,
That cleans and makes us new,
And gives to us the inclination
To do God's statutes too!

God gave salvation as a gift,
Including our desire
To turn from sin that He might lift
Our souls from sinful mire.
