Falling Short

by Debi Pick Marquette


We see the problems of the world, but are we right to judge

When we are quick to anger, and we sometimes hold a grudge

When God gives heart compassion checks, what does He see in me

My human nature causes me to fall short naturally 



So I will go back like a child, where there will be no fraud

And I'll be thankful to be there, and in the arms of God

The worth of what He did for me cannot be fairly priced

From Him who sent His son for me, my Savior, Jesus Christ


At times I get so busy that I haven’t time to think

I won't wallow in self pity and yet I feel extinct

But when I try to do it all, sometimes illness and pain

Feels so much like I'm running towards a head on, moving train



That’s when I must remember scripture He gave me to learn

The One who died for me is waiting for me to return 

Why take things on myself when He's the greatest sounding board

This is what he requires of me, "Walk humbly with my Lord" 

*************
                                    Micah 6: 8
 
What doth the Lord require of thee?
To do justly, to love mercy
And to walk humbly with thy God
 
(My go to verse for comfort)
