Chief Among Sinners

I arise today, but I deserve death. 

God has shown me love yet I still reject. 

Will this struggle last until my last breath? 

My sinful existence I do detest. 

The world is repulsive, but it can’t change

Until believers can first change themselves. 

It is a paradox that is quite strange. 

But to save others we must save ourselves. 

The world is burning, but that is my fault. 

I’ve had it backwards, I must turn inwards. 

But my sinful nature is my default. 

It is I that is chief among sinners. 

There is more hope for change with repentance. 

Worthless is my vote and independence.
