I Failed
My Father! My Father!
I need help right now.
Send me an angel as I kneel and bow.
I tried on my own, to do everything.
But I made such a mess, that I failed every test.
I thought I was strong and could do no wrong.
With flight on my feet, I abolished defeat.
Yet proud as I am, in storm and in calm.
I was heading for trouble and had cause for alarm.
Humble I wasn't, and held in esteem.
I pervaded lust and got caught
in a dream.
Never did I, think in my mind.
I might stumble and fall, and held as unkind.
My Father! My Father!
Surround me with love.
Teach me compassion, so I can fly like a dove.
In faith I will give, my heart to obey.
If only you would wash me and cleanse me to stay.
I disappointed you all my days.
In words from my mouth, without fear and doubt.
As I sit at your feet, may your charge help me grow.
To fulfill my purpose and with seeds I will sow.
