Unfaithfully yours

I am a doubter, but You are faithful
Though I question Your wisdom
and distrust Your statements of truth
You are the unchanging God

Your love is unchanging, your forgiveness sure
I am a doubter, but You are the faithful God.

How can I possibly expect
forgiveness from You, the Holy God,
again
the 123rd time?

I can expect it in my unchanging God
in the surety of Your promises
in the perfection of Your character
I am a doubter, but You are the faithful God.

What right do I have
to ask for Your manifold blessings
again
the 1,230th time?

I have the right in my unchanging God
in the surety of Your promises
in the perfection of Your character
I may be a doubter, but You are the faithful God.
