Do As I Say

Do as I say, Not as I do. You think I am Holy, If you only knew, How I lust and lie and gossip and hate. While trying to act like a pious priest, You will never find a bigger phony, A two faced hypocrite to say the least. It is not my intention to be untrue, But I was born in sin, The harder I try to be pure, The faster I fail again. My broken heart worries over this, Ashamed of letting God down. Will I go to heaven? And wear a golden crown? By the Grace and Mercy of our Lord, He lets me take his mighty gentile hand. I can overcome my shortcomings, Led by faith to the Promised land. Can this be true? No one is perfect and will never be I must accept this truth Only the Grace of God will set me free
