Are not my few days almost over? Turn away from me so I can have a moment's joy
before I go to the place of no return, to the land of gloom and deep shadow,
Job Chapter 10: Verses 20 - 21
Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; someone else, and not your own lips.
Proverbs Chapter 27: Verse 2
In his distress he sought the favor of the LORD his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.
2 Chronicles Chapter 33: Verse 12
He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Israel's Guilt and Punishment
Micah Chapter 6: Verse 8
Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
Deuteronomy Chapter 5: Verse 13
1. I want a principle within
of watchful, godly fear,
a sensibility of sin,
a pain to feel it near.
I want the first approach to feel
of pride or wrong desire,
to catch the wandering of my will,
and quench the kindling fire.
2. From thee that I no more may stray,
no more thy goodness grieve,
grant me the filial awe, I pray,
the tender conscience give.
Quick as the apple of an eye,
O God, my conscience make;
awake my soul when sin is nigh,
and keep it still awake.
3. Almighty God of truth and love,
to me thy power impart;
the mountain from my soul remove,
the hardness from my heart.
O may the least omission pain
my reawakened soul,
and drive me to that blood again,
which makes the wounded whole.
