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!
