Who Is a Man

Who is a Man

Does the true character of  a man
Always reflect in the thing we do
Or is it in the heart that we find
Our identities to be true

Consider the saying, “we always fall short”
And there’s none perfect, no not one
Do you ask Gods forgiveness for you wrongs?
Or from your wrongs do you run

For it’s in the heart what matters
No matter what you’ve done 
And the promise of forgiveness
We have through Gods son
