Black as night inside my chest,
The colour of my heart.
Deceit and evil above the rest,
Each and every part.
My actions I do not approve,
My deeds cloaked in sin.
Darkness envelops every move,
The darkness that’s within.
Indwelling sin motivates me,
To serve only myself.
Inclination from God to flee,
Cast upon the shelf.
One cure for the depraved heart,
A substitute is needed.
Holiness from Him to impart,
For me He interceded.
Christ Jesus is the only way,
To remove the night.
Go to Him on knees and pray,
Turns the black to white.
Trust in Christ and His death,
He paid the penalty.
Atonement on His every breath,
From the night, flee.
