Genesis 3:10

Oh Lord, I’m hiding in my shame,

I’ve failed you once again.

The task you gave me was so clear

And did not involve pain,

And yet I said those unkind words

When I got too tired.

But that’s an opportune excuse

Whose time has expired,

For it’s as easy to be still

As to speak a harsh word;

And yet a patient silence was

Not the sound she heard.

I know you love me, though I sin,

But still I hide in shame;

I fear hearing disappointment

When you next call my name.

Genesis 3: 10

¹⁰ He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”
