I always loved this song while I was much younger; it's a beautiful song/prayer. As an adult, however, I have reasoned the lyrics of the last verse and realised they are misinforming. How do you make a sweeping statement that Christians are pretenders and do not love themselves while alluding that robbers and cultists love themselves. That is very wrong and disparaging the efforts of true Christians who love and worship God genuinely; acknowledge this effort while encouraging others to emulate them. We have instances of robbers and cultists killing themselves. Don't forget also that some of the robbers and cultists identify with different religions, including Christianity. The last verse should be reviewed.
I played this song repeatedly more than an hour. It's such a powerful song that makes you ponder on your Christian life. May God forgive me my sins, take away hypocrisy in my life and help me be a true christ-like.
Asking for your mercy Lord,shred my heart to accept you even in all my infirmities,you are my source of salvation. Lord make me an instrument of your peace,that I may sow peace where's hatred.
St. Teresa of Avila deeply felt a supernatural love for God after her ❤️ was purged of all impurities.....Lord save us from life of Hypocrisy and falsehood.
Break our hearts o Lord, melt our hearts o Lord, we long for your kingdom but our hearts are too hardened… Then he goes on to state the different instances where we even as children of God display our hardness of heart
