Walk in Wisdom

Sabbath Psalm (April 26-27)
(From Seth Davey’s new hymn, “When My Mind Runs Back”)

When my mind runs back to former sins
And I crave forbidden fruit again
When the world looks better than this rugged cross
When I dig up those old dirty clothes
From the grave where they lay decomposed
When I trade back all I’ve gained for all I’ve lost

When I question whether You are real
When the gospel loses its appeal
When my faith gives way to doubts inside my head
When I sell You out for thirty cents
And embrace a cold indifference
When I claim the truth but live a lie instead

When I realize what a fool I’ve been
And I long to see Your face again
But I’ve squandered the inheritance You gave
When I look down at my tattered clothes
And I weep over the path I chose
But I think, this time, I’m too far gone to save

Then You run through the door
And take me back as before
And I find the days I’ve wasted have forever been restored
I’m a prodigal man
Running circles in Your hand
But You are faithful to Your promise, You will keep me to the end

Hallelujah!
