Set Me Straight

I could never be what God wants me to be - which is perfection Why You keep trying, Lord? Why bother? I will constantly be making mistakes I will say no when You say yay I will go and You say no What else, Lord? I will say hold And You say fold Can't get it going - the straight way - the narrow way Why do I constantly make mistakes? Is there no end to me? When are You gonna take over? When does pig fly? haha I will be constantly making mistakes And You are constantly correcting me Is there no end to this? I want to be perfect, God I don't wanna make mistakes no more I am tired When does that day ever come? Give me a wand or something And I'll hit myself And voila One can only dream, huh? Do dreams ever come true?

we are imperfect and he knows this which is why his son was killed, to redeem our sins, all we can do is try and better ourselves, but forgiveness is ours if we slip....hugs
