I noticed a disconnect in my discipleship the other day
As I opened my mouth and said what I shouldn’t say
Deep in my heart, you know, I really knew better
But I rationalized – something about the law and its letter
Then I thought about the evidence of so many a witness
Of those who saw Christ - a fact they did readily profess
Since a very young man I have believed their word
And from the Lord’s Holy Spirit, His witness I heard
So with this faith, I wondered “How could it be?”
That I could fall face first into folly so easily
If I really knew that these things were true
Why would I do what I know I shouldn’t do?
Yet because of this faith I knew what needed to be done
Rationalizations, excuses, I knew I had none
From my faith in Christ to my knees I was sent
To resolve, recommit, rededicate and repent
