Deep Calls to Deep

Out in the depths,
Out in the sea,
This current, this flood,
Has drowned out my plea.

[This deep-rooted hypocrisy has taken its toll,
Chasing after vanity, I have plagued my soul.]

I have pursued these vices,
They have enslaved my eyes,
And I have loved,
What you so despise.

[Is there hope, is there hope for me?
I've been swallowed, swallowed in the sea.]

The darkness of heresy, [beckons]
The madness of reason,
Like mutiny, this poison,
Has wrought in me treason.

Chase my foes away, Oh Lord
And renew me with your Holy Word.
Purge my thoughts, cleanse my mind,
And my heart, to your will, BIND.

["Set me free! Set me free!"
Cries the new Man in me.]

Somewhere in the sea,

-Jonathan Roberts (that's me!)
