God is a Spirit, just and wise,
He sees our inmost mind;
In vain to heaven we raise our cries,
And leave our souls behind.
Nothing but truth before his throne
With honour can appear;
The painted hypocrites are known
Through the disguise they wear.
Their lifted eyes salute the skies,
Their bending knees the ground;
But God abhors the sacrifice,
Where not the heart is found.
Lord, search my thoughts, and try my ways,
And make my soul sincere
Then shall I stand before thy face,
And find acceptance there.
---Alternative verses---
In spirit and in truth alone,
We must present our prayer;
For formal hypocrites are known
Through the disguise they wear.
Their lifted eyes salute the skies,
Their bended knees the ground;
But God abhors the sacrifice,
Where the heart is not found.
Lord, search our thoughts,
and try our ways,hearts sincere
Then shall we stand before thy face,
And find acceptance there.
God is a Spirit, just and wise,
He sees our inmost mind;
In vain to heaven we raise our cries,
And leave our hearts behind.
