I Must Strive

I work with such haste
and for that I am the weaker.
Every decision thats made
seems to drag me ever deeper.

When the world in all it's charm
tries to win me over.
I strive to be content 
though it seems I cannot be.

I wan t to be much wiser
but seem to dissapate.
I think I am over zealous
but put to shame such lies.

A very weak vessel am I
in need of CHRIST indeed.
In need of willingness to be
all He's deemed I'd ever be.
