The prayer of a faithless son!

The Prayer of a faithless Son

My thoughts of sweet content do flee!
When I with certain flesh incline
Those sins that Christ did once deny
Forsaking all and loving me
What ought my heart to Him now say?
Lest once despising that great love
Be found in Him a cast away.

Lord by all thy strength and good
Lay waste the foolish heart impure
And with Thy rod behove to truth
This vessel made of flesh and blood
Come lead me now my God of might
Whose mercies every quick repair
The faithless heart whose sin takes flight.

this is a common prayer today, I assure you. where is it from dvndsn

Yes all our hearts are the same when we grieve. I wrote it yesterday evening just before I went to bed.

Yes I feel sure that many can. The Lord is ever merciful
