     1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. 3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat. 4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 5 And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 6 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. 8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.(KJV)

1. I do not come because my soul 
Is free from sin and pure and whole 
And worthy of Thy grace; 
I do not speak to Thee because 
I’ve never justly kept Thy laws 
And dare to meet Thy face. 

2. I know that sin and guilt combine 
To reign o’er every thought of mine 
And torn from good to ill; 
I know that, when I try to be 
Upright and just and true to Thee, 
I am a sinner still. 

3. I know that often when I strive 
To keep a spark of love alive 
For Thee, the powers within 
Leap up in unsubmissive might 
And oft benumb my sense of right 
And pull me back to sin. 

4. I know that, though in doing good 
I spend my life, I never could 
Atone for all I’ve done; 
But though my sins are black as night, 
I dare to come before Thy sight 
Because I trust Thy Son. 

5. In Him alone my trust I place, 
Come boldly to Thy Throne of grace, 
And there commune with Thee. 
Salvation sure, O Lord, is mine, 
And, all unworthy, I am Thine, 
For Jesus died for me.
