A TASTE OF BOTH WORLDS
It was a taste of both worlds,
having my feet dipped into your glory and my sin,
so much into confusion that I thought myself
to be an expert of both darkness and light,
but how can one move shackled on one leg,
and free on the other?
how can I be the Worst Sinner today
and be a Christian saint the day after?
how can I think of evil desires
and speak forth the truth?
how can my mind delight in the world
and be sold out to Christ?
let me not be a spit out of your mouth,
for you want your people hot,
and I am lukewarm.
having my feet dipped into your glory and my sin,
so much into confusion that I thought myself
to be an expert of both darkness and light,
but how can one move shackled on one leg,
and free on the other?
how can I be the Worst Sinner today
and be a Christian saint the day after?
how can I think of evil desires
and speak forth the truth?
how can my mind delight in the world
and be sold out to Christ?
let me not be a spit out of your mouth,
for you want your people hot,
and I am lukewarm.
