"Perceive ye not yet, neither understand? Have ye your heart yet hardened? Having eyes, see ye not? And having ears, hear ye not? And do ye not remember.... How is it that ye do not understand?" (Mark 8:17-21).
How are we yet hardened,
Although we have been saved?
We graciously are pardoned;
We shouldn't act depraved!
Since we’re no longer blind
By Satan's dark deception,
How then is our mind
Still lacking in perception?
By grace God gave us eyes
That we may now perceive,
So how are we not wise
And slow yet to believe?
The Lord has given ears
For obeying His command.
And yet it still appears
We do not understand.
Revive us once again;
Our hardness, Lord, forgive!
For to this very end
By grace we ought to live!
