Mistakes
O Lord, I make mistakes everyday
just can't seem to break the habit.
I know what I'm supposed to do
but I forget.

I say harsh words at times over things
that I should not say a word about whatsoever.
Come Lord, help me stop doing that,
it will make me feel much better.

You are 100% innocent and blameless
while I am the opposite for sure.
Come Lord and give me help,
I need it to endure.

You love me!  Even when I sin,
You still stay true to me.
That's not how I treat You,
O Lord, help my spirit stay free.

I thank you, Lord, for everything
You do for me - I deserve nothing at all.
I make too many mistakes, I will try not to
and remember that I'm subject to Your call.
