Pleasing God

Man, I shall no longer try to please
though in my past I've tried.
I focus now on pleasing God,
so with my life He'll be satisfied.

I know that iI have often failed
in little things He'd have me say and do. 
But through my prayer and His abundant grace
He sustains and sees me through.

One goal in life I've vowed to have
to have a likeness to that of God.
And live my life so that I might dwell with Him
when in this sinful world I no longer trod.
