2. Examine me, God, from head to foot,order your battery of tests.Make sure I’m fitinside and out
3. So I never losesight of your love,But keep in step with you,never missing a beat.
4-5. I don’t hang out with tricksters,I don’t pal around with thugs;I hate that pack of gangsters,I don’t deal with double-dealers.
6-7. I scrub my hands with purest soap,then join hands with the others in the great circle,dancing around your altar, God,Singing God-songs at the top of my lungs,telling God-stories.
8-10. God, I love living with you;your house glows with your glory.When it’s time for spring cleaning,don’t sweep me out with the quacks and crooks,Men with bags of dirty tricks,women with purses stuffed with bribe-money.
11-12. You know I’ve been aboveboard with you;now be aboveboard with me.I’m on the level with you, God;I bless you every chance I get.
