My Intentions

Lord God, You know I try.

I strive to be perfect,

but am only right,

seventy-nine percent of the time.

No matter how much,

I feel sick,

I try to always go to church,

but only make it,

seventy-nine percent of the time.

I do my best,

to put you first in my life.

Still, it seems as though,

I remember only,

seventy-nine percent of the time.

I know that I am,

fighting the good fight of faith,

but it only feels like,

I am in this race,

seventy-nine percent of the time.

Lord, I am not going to pretend,

because I know,

that in the end,

I will go to Heaven,

when I die.

I am not making an excuse,

but I am human.

So what about the other,

twenty-one percent of the time?

I am just a soul,

whose intentions are good.

O' Lord,

please don't let me,

be misunderstood.
