Psalm
15
Amos Wilson (August 3,
2014)
Who in
your tent can be a guest?
Who in
your holy place can rest?
Either
he must earn his place,
Or be
adopted by his grace.
What
must we do to earn our board?
We
must be perfect as our Lord:
One
without blame, one who does right,
And
speaks the truth both day and night.
Who
does not slander with his tongue,
No
evil to his friends has done.
The
reprobate he will despise,
And
honors him who to God flies.
When
he swears, he'll keep his word,
He
will not change, despite the hurt.
He
gives no interest when he lends,
And
takes no bribes, nor justice bends.
Who
does all this earns resurrection,
He
won't be move, he's reached perfection.
Who
can lie with You, my God?
Our
works are but a frail facade.
We
surely can not earn your favor,
Lord,
adopt us, be our savior.
