How can I understand
this complicated matter?
Your words are like a dagger
that penetrates my imperfect heart

You ask so much of me
yet I've nothing to give
I try too hard and fail again
and You still request the same

Why are you still here?
next to this wretched part
Can you see my withered heart
and each desire within?

Forgive me for my failure
pick me up again, just once more
I praise Your understanding
You've never left my side

I'll continue on
to glorify Your name
even though I'm inadequate
I'll serve you all the same
