The speaker reflects on their deep internal conflict, caught between passionate desires and feelings of guilt. They acknowledge their sinful nature and the need for repentance. Recognizing the importance of turning back to God for forgiveness, they express a yearning to overcome pride and lust and restore their spiritual integrity.
That sinful and burning desire,
Thought no more, a deed once admired
Set in shame, passion, and guilt like fire
Raging against all that I acquire
Sinking deeper and deeper into sin’s mire
This body made by God from dust,
Should raise up against the Just
In sinful pride and ardent lust
Confess, repent my soul must
And return to the one I trust
