George Herbert - Church-Lock And KeyGeorge Herbert - Church-Lock And Key
Work rating: Low


I know it is my sinne, which locks thine eares,                     And bindes thy hands! Out-crying my requests, drowning my tears; Or else the chilnesse of my faint demands. But as cold hands are angrie with the fire,                 And mend it still; So I do lay the want of my desire, Not on my sinnes, or coldnesse, but thy will. Yet heare, O God, onely for his bloud`s sake,                 Which pleads for me; For though sinnes plead too, yet like stones they make His bloud`s sweet current much more loud to be.
