Depravity of man

Depravity of man,

My heart is deceitful and desperately wicked,  I am a rebel,  it is what I am .

I am born in trespasses and sin, I was born dead from the womb.   I am dead in transgressions.

My mind corrupted , my emotion filled , my will ingrained , all corrupted by sin.

Captive I was held by the love of sin,  the love of darkness makes me stay far away from God.

I do not understand the things of God. Ignorance is my companion. I am totally depraved, and fallen,  yet my sinful lifestyle seems right to me.

Willfully I continue to live in sin, suppressing the truth of God in unrighteousness. I am depraved from my head to toe.

My mind hostile toward God, I reasoned, I kicked,  I wrestled ; for my flesh is not subjected to the law of God. Totally unable to stand. 

Then the Gospel of Christ, the Gospel of Christ made me free. Free from trespasses and sin. Now I am a new creation and the old things have passed. The old has become new.

So now I can live.
