I'M Only Human

I often wondered why it is that so many people don't believe
Life's a test, each day a quiz and yet themselves they deceive 
I could never even imagine where I would be without His Grace
He paid the price for all sin as you define your heart in this place

I often thought long and deep oh how good the Lord's been to me
How good it is to just steep and why can't all these others just see
I myself unable to understand what came so easy to one as such
The Creator of all that is grand yet capable of an individual touch

I felt it in my heart, seen it with my eyes so clear I could not miss
But as satan goes about and tries, many people succumb to this
Yet I did nothing different than you no this was not of my own
All of your sins will come due since it's Jesus you've never known

I did do one thing though something you might want to also do
I started to praise His Name, but I did it in sincerity, it was true
His eyes are on the sparrow but His Love is always there for you
The path will be narrow yet He will always be in all that you do

When I think Our Lord's Heart is actually breaking, because so many of His Children don't abide in Him. And I could be like them but His great gift of faith. Seeing glimpses of His Glory through His Creation. How Great Thou Are. So good to hear from you. God Bless You.
