Based on Micah 6: 6 - 8 - "Wherewith shall I come before the Lord?"
Wherewith shall I come before the Most High,
Who am but a worm, and doomed to die?
My nature unholy was tainted in birth,
And nursed by folly, brings all evil forth!
Whatever I do, some baseness appears;
Wherever I go, it rings in my ears;
Pursues me and rages with fulsome breath,
And tells me its wages are hell after death.
No labours of mine, with fasting and tears,
Can purge away sin, or shorten arrears;
Only one sweet fountain of blood that was spilt
Can loosen the mountain of high-crying guilt.
