They tested God again and again
and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
Psalm 78:41
How like ancient Israel
is my own living soul
I forget too soon
the God I know
He is patient
in His grace
yet I am sinful
to His face
I will test Him
in selfish ways
make my demands
reject what He says
I can turn my back
to the Savior’s cross
forgetting He saved Me
at enormous cost
I must not test
the Lord my God
that much is clear
in His Word
Instead repentance
should move my heart
turning from sin
at the start
Lord, I am broken
make me true
although provoking wrath
is what I do
I confess now to
the Holy One
I beg forgiveness
from the Son
And as I pray
on bended knee
I know Your Spirit
remakes me
Although I test You
again and again
You take me back
into Your land
