You know no one is perfect and I am no
exception,
but He knows that in me there is more than deception
I've
done a lot of things of which I am ashamed,
He understands, I will not be
blamed
Me, I am led so easily astray,
always searching for methods to
do things my way.
He patiently waits knowing I have no choice,
that
sooner or later I must heed His voice.
When things are not good, my back
against the wall,
where will I go to who heeds my call.
Hard on
myself, I think I am not worth preserving,
it is only He who can choose who
is deserving.
I am baffled, how can I forget that He is there,
after
so many times being grasped from despair.
And always when it seems things
cannot get worse,
He calms me with wisdom, and the love in his
verse
So much for which I should have
gratitude,
still I find time for ailment of
attitude
I only ask for His wisdom when
I'm in the mood,
sitting and sulking I'd much rather
brood
At one time I denied Him and in
malice I would dare,
to blame Him for all of my heart felt
despair.
I was taught that He was someone
to fear,
and that for those such as me he did not shed a
tear.
It has been a long hard road but
I must finally admit,
that He was there always and would not let me
quit.
And I have come to finally
realize that it is me,
that makes my life miserable, not happy and
free.
Knowing now that He would not wish me ill,
an empty spot in my
heart He would fill.
And if events do not occur the
way I want them to,
I can rely upon Him for his word is
true.
And if things have seemed to have
taken a bad turn,
it is what I need that matters, it's the only way that I
learn
Although often puzzled by
occurrences at hand,
it is His will not mine, and I need not
understand
And when I am down, feeling my
ship it has sunk,
I need to recall that God don't make
junk!
