In today’s times, people have never treasured God,

He has no place in their hearts.

Could they show a true love for God in the days of suffering to come?

Man’s righteousness remains something without form,

something that can’t be seen or touched.

What God wants is man’s heart,

for in the human body, the heart is what’s most precious.

Are God’s deeds not fit to be repaid with man’s heart?

Why do people not give Him their hearts?

Why do they always hug them to their own breasts,

unwilling to let them go?

Can the heart of man ensure peace and happiness

throughout people’s lives?

When God makes demands of people,

why do they always grab a handful of dust

from the ground and fling it at Him?

Is this man’s crafty scheme?

Is this man’s crafty scheme?
