Lord I do not wish
To hide from you,
I’m too lazy, I say
You molded me
From lowly clay,
Am I to blame?
Can I help it
If I err?
Only human, I say
Free will is
A handy phrase but,
Is it really there?
Redemption I can’t own
The Fall, as well,
Not mine to will, I say
It is God’s grace
If success is undeserved,
Failure surely the Devil’s
Conscience perplexed,
Helpless yet blamed,
Innocent but guilty
Simple minded me
In a quandary, how else,
Accept the mystery, I say
