Psalm 26 — Try My Heart
A ballad
Test my mind and try my heart:
You’ll find my conscience clear.
I will not sit with hypocrites;
Your judgement I won’t fear.
I trust in You; I will not bear
With those feign and lie,
Who claim Your Name while damning me,
Who’d rather I just die.
They don’t set love above the rest
In which they find me flawed,
But I have led a blameless life,
And I know love is God.
Test my mind and try my heart:
You’ll find my conscience clear.
I will not sit with hypocrites;
Your judgement I won’t fear.
They thirst for blood and evil schemes,
Their hands are full of bribes.
I stand before Your altar, Lord,
Your pure and spotless bride.
Test my mind and try my heart:
You’ll find my conscience clear.
I will not sit with hypocrites;
Your judgement I won’t fear.
