Failure

I have tried so hard to live up to Your standards
To be the person that I am suppose to be
But every day seems to be a horrible struggle
Making me fail continuously

I have tried to
...say the right words
...act the right way
...give the right advice
...do my best not to stray

I fall back into my habits
The ones I want to quit
I feel I have failed you
I know I should not submit

I can't take it anymore
I'm a terrible person
But I have been forgiven
And covered by Your Son

It is refreshing to know
That no matter what I do
You don't see my sin
And I am loved by You

I renew my life to You
Be my only desire
Thank you for loving me
A sinner, a murderer, a liar
