REDEEM US FOR YOUR MERCIES’ SAKE
Our hearts may be in anguish because of suffering;
But we have no reason to be rudely complaining!
Affliction in life may indeed be hard to bear;
But there is no call to think that God doesn’t care!
We may be filled with self-righteousness;
Thus, we are not able to see our wickedness!
We protest that we deserve better treatment;
Our soul is so bowed down with discouragement!
Do we need to burst out with rude language in prayer?
Can we truly say that God does no longer care?
A change of attitude is called for right away;
Repentance must be seen without delay!
We may think that loud prayers will prevail;
Such wrong prayers would always fail.
How important it is to plead humbly;
God will respond with great mercies!
