"Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile" (Psalm 32:1,2).
It is a foolish exercise
Of wasted energy
To try to cleverly disguise
What God can surely see.
Guile is not only vain,
It is destructive too.
The soul will lose eternal gain
That hides from what is true.
What is true is our own sin;
Repentance is our need.
This is where we must begin
And where the truth will lead.
But follow on, and you will see
That God will give salvation
To those who come with honesty,
Escaping condemnation.
What then is this blessedness
For those who have no guile?
It is the gift of righteousness
To those who once were vile.
Praise the Lord! He saves each one
Who comes in true surrender!
And they shall find in God the Son
That He is their Defender.
