George Herbert - JusticeGeorge Herbert - Justice
Work rating: Low


      I cannot skill of these thy ways: Lord thou didst make me, yet you woundest me: Lord, thou dost wound me, yet thou dost relieve me: Lord, thou relievest, yet I die by thee: Lord, thou dost kill me, yet thou dost reprieve me.       But when I mark my life and praise,       Thy justice me most fitly payes: For, I do praise thee, yet I praise thee not: My prayers mean thee, yet my prayers stray: I would do well, yet sinne the hand hath got: My soul doth love thee, yet it loves delay.       I cannot skill of these my ways.
