Here I am again, oh, Lord,
I've drawn myself aside
For another look into your book
and precious guide.
You know my heart here lately
how it cannot handle meat
So I'll just drink the milk today
'til I'm back on my feet.
So sweet the gospel's milk
of how you bore my sins for me,
How from the fear of condemnation
you have set me free.
Once again I need to drink it in
how you supplied
The entire payment God required
his mercy to provide.
Tell me once again, oh, Lord,
before I have to go
That though my sins are scarlet
they shall be as white as snow.
And thank you, God, for your Word
it's nourishment indeed
When weak and hungry there I find
soul food for every need.
