1. Every effort besides You is lost
And every word without remembering You leads astray

2. And all occupation without loving You is invalid
And all listening without hearing Your word are mistakes

3. And all standing not at Your door is disappointment
And all intimacy not towards You is sin

4. And all preoccupation without connecting with You is wasted
And all orientation not towards You is misguidance

5. And all hope without Your grace is despairing
And all talk besides You are transgressions
