Paper Mache
Lord, sometimes on my journey here
on earth, it's hard to face the day.
I feel as though the only thing holding
me together is glue and paper mache.

Sometimes I get so caught up with worry
that I can't sleep at night.
Forgive me Lord, instead of seeking your
help - I get lost in the world's hype.

I am a human being prone to sin everyday
of my life and I need your divine relief.
Because Satan is always waiting for
a chance to cause me grief.

I know glue and paper mache will fall
apart and blow away.
I also know that I need to call on You, Lord, and always pray.

So, Lord, forgive me!  In You, I know I'm stronger than Satan could ever be.
It's just sometimes I forget that I need
You each day inside of me!
