But God - 2

I know I don’t do everything right
I want to be perfect, but am so inadequate
I want to be flawless, but am so very flawed
I want to be impeccable and am so deficient

But God…
I try to do it all just so
I’m weak and I know I do so much wrong
But God… I try so very hard
To do what I know You would have me to
To do what is right in the eyes of Your truth
To do what is good and kind and wise
To do what I know Your word tells me to

But God…
I am so very lacking, so fallible and weak
I struggle to show You the best that I have
I try to give You my unsurpassed love and light
Hope that will show You how much I need You
To feel the way I love You from the depths of my spirit

But God…
I know I’m so imperfect
I do things wrong even when I don’t want to
I let pride and prejudice get in my way sometimes
I allow the pain and sorrow to take my heart away from
The place where I can be closest to You

But God…
You just have to know my heart
And see that I love You more with every thought
I need You and I praise You and I pray that You know
It is Your love that lights my heart and soul
It is Your love that assures me of this hope

But God…
You are the reason I can honestly say
I may not be perfect, but I’m someone who strives
To give back to You a heart that is honest and true
A heart that knows Your worth and reflects the blessing
Of Your gift of grace and mercy, Your absolute love and affection
Toward a child like me who knows they will be defective until
The time when I reach the home of my Savior
Where His love will remind me I have the victory
Success comes in the form of a meeting in heaven!

But God…
Please don’t ever leave me or forsake me
Without You, dear God… I’d be lost in the darkness
It is Your light that pours out hope into my heart, 
Joy into my soul and love into my spirit!

But God….
I love You with everything in me!
