Why Do You Test Me?- D.A. Dobbs

Why do you test me?
and mock my name
"God is not mocked"
That law remains the same

You've sinned once

And out of justice and grace

I forgave you 

Then you go and do it

again, and again,

and again, and again

Coming to me in repentance

For your habitual sinning

Do you think my grace

Will always abound?

For your deliberateness 

And your practiced sinning?

"Do not put the Lord to the test"

That law also remains constant

Don't think you can abuse my grace

then become spiritually stagnant

And not expect the punishment

to be as constant 

as your feigned repentance

Your spitefulness has angered me

And I'm giving you one last chance

But if you abuse it once more

You may never live to see yourself

Make another feigned repentance

But rather you will live 

regretting that you tested the Lord

If you think I cannot be annoyed 

And that my grace will always abound

Make a U-turn in your thoughts

And another in your actions
