Flawed and Failed
Help me Father, for I’m a man,
failed and flawed like everyone.
I seek the grace only You can give,
even though I’m undeserving.
How great is Your heart, O’ Lord,
for You look past my flaws and sins.
I put my trust in You, my Father,
my loving keeper of all my days.
The enemy tries to tempt my soul;
his taunts stir anger inside this shell.
I give up these troubles to You,
my shield against these arrows of hate.
God, help me love them all,
though some wish for me to fail.
Lift me up when I stumble
as I walk along this narrow path.
I praise You in the darkest moments,
for You are the light I follow.
My voice sings your praises.
My words speak your glory.
You are holy, my loving Father,
You are my guide, you are my Savior.
My Lord, my God, I am forever yours,
and You will always be forever mine.
