I try so hard
To follow God
Hoping He’ll approve;
I fail and fail
Day after day
Condemned by this proof.
“You are welcome.
You are my child.”
Jesus says to me.
“You belong
No matter what.
I’m your identity.
I choose to live
For God above
Not to gain His praise,
I serve Him well
As oft I can
Because He’s given me grace.
