Psalm 81:11-12

 
Psalm 81:11-12
“But my people would not listen to me; Israel would not submit to me. So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.

He always let us make the choice,
But choices can wrong.
I’ve ended up too many times
On a path that’s too long.

I’m too stubborn to turn around
And head back the right way,
But I’m to proud to ask for help
When I bow down to pray.

I just keep slogging through the muck
Until I must give in
And ask You, in my great despair,
To lead me back again.

Why do we choose to go astray,
When You give us a choice?
Why can’t we live within Your rules
And listen to Your voice?
