Sinking Sayings

"Today if ye will hear His voice, harden not your heart" (Psalm 95:7,8). "Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of Man shall be delivered into the hands of men. But they understood not this saying, and it was hidden from them.... Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be the greatest" (Luke 9:44-46).

Are my Savior's sayings sinking
Down into my ears and heart?
Are they hidden from my thinking,
From my deepest inward part?

What reasoning within my mind
Distracts me from my Savior's voice?
What vanity has rendered blind
My eyes to see my foolish choice?

Your words, O Lord, are good and right;
Your wisdom surely has no peers.
So let Your sayings, day and night,
Sink deeply down into my ears.
