by Paul Mayes Jamar

For I have failed you time and again,
Disappointing you, yet you’re my Friend.

Jesus, You’ve sealed me for success,
though I am impoverished by the World’s guess,

I am enriched on a daily basis, You see,
Filled with contentment to continue to be

Your slave Lord Jesus beyond the grave,
Because I am a lowly wretch You did save.

If only I would achieve some greatness,
But my redemption is so adequate to bless

For eternity and beyond, I am Yours at rest.
Lead me to Jesus, my savior, proven He is the best.
