CONVICTED

[verseode]

                   

                I have been convicted
               Of things not very nice
               Destructive traits that are of me
               A block of thoughtless ice
               Untouched by peoples circumstance
                    I favour very few      
              My feelings are concerned with me
              And not refreshed by You

              These things have lain hidden
               For more than forty years
              Motivating all my thoughts
               Promoting many tears
               I have the chance to wave goodbye
              To what is deep in me
              Better off without them
              Yielded up to Thee.
