Went to a baptism today, and while I was scanning the verses of a hymn, a few words popped out at me. I came home and “found” this poem in the hymn titled And Can it Be by Charles Wesley.

I’m not pious, so I didn’t interpret the poem as such. To me, this poem is about a greedy human who thinks a bit too highly of their self. Any thoughts and feedback welcome.

I interest me to death, amazing me!
Immortal design, the sound of all minds.
His infinite love, for all me.
My spirit in a light, my heart rose.
Condemnation is mine! In righteousness, I approach the crown.
