“My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken Thou me according to Thy Word… I will run the way of Thy commandments, when Thou shalt enlarge my heart” (Psalm 119:25,32). “O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 7:24,25).
My
soul is cleaving to the dust,
The
things that soon must pass away,
The
things in which I dare not trust,
The
health and wealth that shall decay.
I’d
rather cleave to God my Savior
And
run the way of His commands
As
I display in my behavior
A
heart enlarged that understands.
O
wretched man that dwells within
Enlarged
against my Lord’s dominion!
It
is your nature still to sin
And
vainly trust your own opinion!
I’ll
thank my God as I have breath
That
He delivers me by grace
So
that the body of this death
Shall
give to God His rightful place.
O
Lord, You have delivered me
From
dust and things so void of worth
To
fix my heart eternally
On
things above this fleeting earth.
To
You, O Lord, my spirit clings
And
finds the grace that You bestow
To
be delivered from the things
That
shackle me to dust below.
