Hymns of Praise "Only Honest People Have a Human Likeness" | Thank God's Love and Salvation
I once pursued fortune and fame.
My principles were cast away;
I lied for a living.
My conscience was gone,
with no thought for morals.
Integrity, dignity,
all of these things meant nothing to me.
I lived to quench my ever-growing
worldly passions: greed and desire,
wallowing there in a mire of sin
with a heavy and uneasy heart.
I couldn’t escape this endless darkness.
Earthly riches, short-lived pleasures
could not hide the void inside.
Tell me why it’s so hard
to have integrity in life?
What kind of world is this
where man is so cunning?
Tell me who can save me?
