Persistence...

We're blinded by darkness,
lost on our own.
We struggle forward
to get through it alone.

We fall over and over
to so many temptations.
Wont to act out
without meditations.

We shame and betray,
steal and deceive,
kill and destroy,
simply wont' believe.

Yet you care for us,
love us,
protect us,
died for us.

Who but man can boast in You;
we search for light
in the midst of darkness
to find what is right.

We try and try;
many times we fail.
We simply attempt
to no avail.

Yet Your love does not waver.
Your light does not grow dim.
We remain in Your favor.
We are always loved by You.

Simply because
You see that we try.
As imperfect we may be
our spirit will never die.

We will fight,
We will seek,
We will love.
All because of You.

Amen.
